Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  6. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Centers will look slightly underdone — that's correct.
  7. Cool on the tray for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Pull cookies out early — they finish cooking on the hot tray. For thicker cookies, chill the dough 30 minutes before baking.
