Prep time: 15 mins | Bake time: 10–12 mins | Servings: Approx. 24–30 cookies


Ingredients

  • The Creamy Base:
    • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened.
    • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar.
    • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar, packed.
  • The Liquid Gold:
    • 2 large eggs.
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract.
  • The Dry Mix:
    • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour.
    • 1 tsp baking soda.
    • 1/2 tsp baking powder.
    • 1/2 tsp salt.
  • The Best Part:
    • 2 cups (340 g) chocolate chips.

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  3. Emulsify: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
  4. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, then gently fold in the chocolate chips until just distributed.
  6. Scoop: Use a spoon to drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading.
  7. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
