Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and line three large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt to ensure even distribution.
Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream the softened salted butter with the granulated and light brown sugars for 2 to 3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
Beat in the two large eggs and the pure vanilla extract for about one minute until the batter is smooth.
Turn the mixer to its lowest setting and gradually add the dry flour mixture, mixing only until the white streaks disappear.
Gently fold in the two cups of chocolate chips using a sturdy spatula so they are evenly distributed.
Portion the dough into balls of about 2 to 3 tablespoons each and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced two inches apart.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are golden brown, then allow them to rest on the hot pan for five minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

Notes

To ensure your cookies maintain that perfect soft texture, store them in an airtight container with a small piece of apple or a slice of white bread; the moisture from these items will keep the cookies from drying out over several days. If you prefer a more uniform appearance, you can use a round cookie cutter to gently ‘scoot’ the cookies into perfect circles immediately after they come out of the oven while they are still soft.
