Servings: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 cup butter slightly softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
- Sugar crystals or sprinkles for decorating (optional)
Instructions
- In medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda, and set aside.
- In large bowl, cream the butter, sugars and vanilla extract together until soft.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg is added, then gradually add the flour mixture, and mix until completely blended.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, and refrigerate dough for 15 to 30 minutes. Drop tablespoon-sized balls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about an inch between the dough balls.
- Press down slightly for more even baking, and bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes (depending on your oven), or until edges are just slightly brown. Do not over bake
- Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, then transfer to cool surface or baking rack to cool completely
Notes
If you don't like a lot of cinnamon, omit or reduce amount to 1 teaspoon.
Use silicone baking mats or parchment paper for best results.
If dough is firm and your kitchen is cool, you can skip refrigerating the dough.
