Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until the mixture is fluffy and light in color (about 2 minutes).
Step 3
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each. Then, add the pure vanilla extract and stir until combined.
Step 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons per cookie), drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear just set. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm for a gooey, chocolatey treat, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
