Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt (or sea salt)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups chocolate chips (use a mix of semisweet and dark for a bakery effect)
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- Optional for topping: Extra chocolate chips and flaky sea salt for that bakery-style finish.
