Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
Step 4
In a separate 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 just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake—the cookies will continue to bake slightly on the baking sheet as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
