Method
- Beat the butter and both sugars on medium speed until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla, scraping the bowl.
- Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt together. Mix into the butter on low speed until barely combined, then stir in the chocolate by hand.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough at least 1 hour, or up to 3 days. The rest lets the flour hydrate and keeps the cookies from spreading thin.
- Heat the oven to 190°C and line the baking sheets with parchment. Scoop 2-tablespoon balls of dough about 2 inches apart.
- Bake 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers still look slightly underdone. Sprinkle with flaky salt and cool 5 minutes on the sheet before moving.
