Ingredients

  • 1 c. Unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 c. Granulated sugar
  • 1 c. Light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 c. All purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 1/2 c. dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 c. Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugars until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in eggs and vanilla. Cream again, making sure to scrape down bowl.
  • Add flour, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt. Beat together until just combined.
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Using a 3 T. scoop, scoop dough onto parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until sides are lightly browned. (The middle may look uncooked, but that is okay, they continue cooking when taken out of the oven and will be perfect!)
  • Once out of the oven, sprinkle with lava salt if desired.
