Cream the butter and sugars

• Place the softened butter, white sugar and brown sugar in the stand mixer bowl.
• Cream with the whisk attachment until smooth.

Add the wet ingredients

• Add the vanilla and the eggs.
• Switch to the dough paddle and mix only briefly, without overmixing the eggs.

Add the dry ingredients

• Add the flour, baking soda and salt.
• Mix with the dough paddle until combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips

• Add the chocolate chips and mix until the batter is fully combined.

Shape the cookies

• Grease the baking tray.
• Scoop palm-sized balls of dough with the ice cream scoop and place them on the tray.

Bake

• Bake at 175 °C for 11 minutes; the cookies will still look slightly raw.
• Leave them on the hot tray for 30 minutes so they finish cooking and stay chewy.
