Copy Cat Tates Cookies

We LOVE Tates cookies. They are probably the best cookies I have ever had. During the summer we spend a lot of mornings at Tate’s bakery in South Hampton. I love their coffee and I look forward to getting one of their cookies straight out of the oven. The other day I saw on the site Delish a recipe for Copy Cat Tates cookies. I am so excited to make Tate’s cookies right out of my own oven! Bon Appetit!!!!

(adapted from Delish)

2 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

2 sticks salted butter, room temperature

3/4 c. sugar

3/4 c. brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 Eggs, room temperature

1 bag semisweet chocolate chips (about 12 ounces)

coarse sea salt (for topping cookies)

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. As it heats, combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugars and butter. Use an electric mixer to beat the two together, whipping them until the mixture is a pale yellow and has a creamy texture. Slowly beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
3. Stir in the flour mixture, adding a little at a time until fully combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Form into 1-inch patties and place about 1-2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle each with a little coarse sea salt.
5. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the cookies are warm, golden brown and look crispy on the edges.
