Method
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk 2½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix 14 tablespoons melted and slightly cooled unsalted butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup packed light brown sugar. Stir until smooth. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Combine and Fold
Add the dry mix to the wet mix. Stir until just combined. Fold in 3 cups chocolate chips.
Chill the Dough
Cover the bowl and chill the dough at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
Preheat and Prep
When ready, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop and Shape
Use a large scoop or 1/4 cup measure to form big dough balls. Roll slightly to shape and press extra chips on top if desired.
Bake
Place dough balls on the sheet with space between. Bake 12–15 minutes until edges are light brown and centers look soft.
Cool and Set
Let cookies rest on the sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool.
Serve warm for gooey centers. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To keep them soft, place a slice of bread in the container.
