American chocolate chip cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 and 1/4 cups cake flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon fine salt
• 165 g unsalted butter at room temperature
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 340 g semi-sweet chocolate granules

Preparation:

1. Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. In another large bowl, beat the butter and all the sugars with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating after each addition; beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium, add the flour mixture, and mix until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
3. Place 12 1-tbsp mounds of dough on each prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm apart. Using damp hands, roll each mound into a ball.
4. Bake until the cookies are golden brown and crispy around the edges, 12–15 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the baking sheets are completely cool, transfer the remaining dough to a single baking sheet and bake. Store cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days..
