Tate’s Copycat Thin & Crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies
 These thin and crisp chocolate chip cookies are every bit as delicious as Tate’s famous Bake Shop’s. Ingredients 2½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off (preferably King Arthur brand) ½ teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2½ sticks (1¼ cups) unsalted butter, room temperature 1 cup granulated sugar ¾ cup (packed) light brown sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips, best quality such as Ghirardelli, divided 2½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off (preferably King Arthur brand) ½ teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2½ sticks (1¼ cups) unsalted butter, room temperature 1 cup granulated sugar ¾ cup (packed) light brown sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips, best quality such as Ghirardelli, divided Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F. Set an oven rack in the center position. Line a 13 x 18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or beaters, beat the butter with both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, a few minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix on low speed until just combined, and then mix in 1¾ cups of the chocolate chips. Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. (Do not make the cookies too big or they will spread into one another.) Dot each cookie dough with a few of the remaining chocolate chips. Bake until cookies are lightly golden in the middle and slightly darker around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.)The baked cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or frozen for up to 3 months. Note: You will have more consistent results baking the cookies one sheet at a time, but if you'd like to use two racks, set the racks in centermost positions, and bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, rotating the pans top to bottom and front to back midway through.
