Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until no flour streaks remain.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly using a rubber spatula.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
