Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Step 4
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
Step 9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your Easiest Ever Cookies with a glass of milk, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
