Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ok so I said every once in a while I have to bake something bad, well here it is, I promise you the BEST chocolate chip recipe, enjoy!


What You'll Need:
10-3/4 oz. (1-1/3 cups) unsalted butter, cold  
1-1/2 cups packed light brown-sugar 
1 cup granulated sugar 
2 large eggs, cold 
1 Tbs. pure vanilla extract   
17 oz. (3-3/4 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour 
1-1/4 tsp. table salt 
1 tsp. baking soda 
12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips 


Preparation:

Arrange oven racks in the upper and middle positions of the oven. Heat the oven to 375°F.
Using a mixer fitted with a paddle, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, starting on low speed and gradually working your way up to high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 min. once you reach high speed. Scrape the bowl and beater. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat on low until blended. Beat on high until light and fluffy, about 1 min. Scrape the bowl and beater.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add this to the butter mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just blended; the dough will be stiff. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop rounded measuring 1/4 cups of dough about 2 inches apart onto two ungreased baking sheets ( I very lightly grease mine). Refrigerate any unused dough. Bake until the bottoms are golden brown, about 10-12 min., rotating the sheets halfway through for even results. Remove the sheets from the oven, let sit for 3 to 5 min., and then transfer the cookies with a spatula to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheets cool completely before baking the remaining dough.
OMG soooooooo freaking good!
