Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted margarine or butter, softened (ensure it’s kosher-certified)
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165 g) packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (kosher-certified)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups (340 g) kosher-certified semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. - Prepare the dry ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Set aside. - Cream the butter and sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened margarine or butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes. - Add the wet ingredients:
Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. - Combine dry and wet ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. - Fold in the chocolate chips:
Stir in the chocolate chips evenly using a spatula. - Portion the dough:
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. - Bake:
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly undercooked. - Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a parve version, use parve margarine and kosher-certified parve chocolate chips.
- If you like thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
