Ingredients
  

  • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 0.75 cup white granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (preferably semi-sweet)

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone mats
  • Medium bowl
  • Large bowl or stand mixer

Method
 

  1. Heat your oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  3. Beat the softened butter with both sugars in a large bowl or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about three minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  5. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no dry flour remains.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon or spatula, saving a handful of chips for topping.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers appear slightly underdone.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or milk. Consider marinating the chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before cooking for extra tenderness. This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of cream to prevent drying out. Customize the heat level by adjusting the Cajun seasoning or adding fresh jalapeños for a spicier kick. Enhance the flavors by adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
