Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 extra-large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips or chunks

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven 350°, middle rack. In a bowl, whisk cinnamon into flour. In a stand mixer with paddle, put butter, both sugars, baking soda, salt and vanilla. Beat medium just until ingredients come together as a mass.

Add eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated, stopping to scrape sides as needed. On low, add flour and cinnamon and beat just until incorporated. Add chips and beat just until incorporated.

On 1-2 baking sheets lined with parchment, drop batter by heaping tablespoon, up to 15 per sheet. Bake 13-15 minutes, turning midway until just golden brown on edges. Let cool on racks.
