White chocolate chip cookies

Set the oven to 360F.

Whisk the flour, kosher salt and baking soda in a large bowl and set aside.

Cream the room temperature butter in a stand mixer with the paddle.

Add the white sugar, then the brown sugar; scrape the bowl and mix until light and fluffy.

Scrape down, add one egg and the vanilla and mix, then the second egg until homogenous.

Mix in the dry ingredients until almost combined, with some flour still showing.

Fold in the white chocolate chips by hand with a spatula, reserving a handful for the tops.

Optionally chill 10 to 15 minutes to firm up; the cookies do not need it.

Scoop the cookies out; do not add the topping chips yet or they take on too much color.

Bake at 360F about 10 minutes, taking them out after 8 minutes to press white chocolate chips on top.

Unchilled cookies spread a bit more; round them with a circular cookie cutter straight out of the oven.
