## Ingredients

- 2 sticks salted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 tsp Smallish-to-medium-grain sea salt (Maldon)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 2.25 cups semisweet chocolate chips or chunks

## Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 360 degrees. Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is nice and fluffy (approximately 3 minutes on medium-high-speed)
2. Add both eggs and the vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes
3. Add baking soda, baking powder, a bit of salt, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated. Finally, add chocolate pieces and mix until well distributed.
4. Chill dough for 24-48 hours if you want them to be the best cookies ever.
5. Use your hands to plop balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Dough balls slightly larger than a quarter (8 per sheet)
6. Sprinkle some sea salt over them before they go in the oven
7. Bake for 10-11 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but the center is still light and puffy.
8. Remove from heat, slam down (hard, like SLAM them) to flatten out a bit
9. Transfer cookies to a room-temperature, nonporous surface to cool for at least 3-5 minutes before serving
