"I'm glad I doubled the recipe because these disappeared. Recipe courtesy of wwwjoyfoodsunshine.com. I didn't double the ingredients listed here. It makes a nice chewy cookie."

 

• Ready In: 18mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 24 cookies
• Serves: 24

ingredients

• 1 cup salted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar (I used half the sugar it called for, and they were plenty sweet)
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt (I omitted when I made, plenty of salt in the butter)
• 2 cups chocolate chips, chocolate chunks (I doubled the amount of chocolate when I made) or 2 cups chopped chocolate (I doubled the amount of chocolate when I made)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside. (I found lining the pans with anything completely unnecessary--these are buttery and don't stick to the pan whatsoever.).
2. In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
3. Cream together butter and sugars until combined.
4. Beat in eggs and vanilla until fluffy.
5. Mix in the dry ingredients until combined.
6. Add 12 oz package of chocolate chips and mix well.
7. Roll 2 to 3 tablespoons of dough at a time into balls and place them evenly spaced on cookie sheets.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Take them out when they are just barely starting to turn brown.
9. Let them sit on the baking pan for 2 minutes before removing to cooling rack.
