Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined and creamy. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk to combine. Add dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until about halfway mixed in. Add chips and wafers and fold until just combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 24.

  3. 3

    Let dough come to room temperature. Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°. Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 Tbsp.), scoop dough onto 2-parchment lined baking sheets, spacing about 3" apart.

  4. 4

    Bake cookies, rotating trays to top bottom halfway through, until edges are golden brown and just set and centers are almost set, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly.
