• Ready In: 1hr 10mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 60 cookies

ingredients

• 1 cup butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

directions

1. Place the oven rack in the middle then preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together. Beat in the eggs, one at a time then add the vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt then add to the butter mixture.
4. Once combined, stir in the chocolate chips.
5. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop a level amount and arrange on the cookie sheets about 3 inches apart. Flatten slightly.
6. Bake one cookie sheet at a time for 12 - 14 minutes (time varies depending on your oven).
7. Let cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet, then remove to a cooling rack.
8. Note: I find that the absolute best cookie sheet, that doesn't require greasing and cooks evenly, is the Doughmakers brand.
