Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (or ½ cup butter plus ½ cup vegetable oil)
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips, semisweet, milk, dark or a mix
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
- In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer in a large bowl), cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for a few minutes. Add eggs and beat until fluffy (a few more minutes).
- In a medium bowl, add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt. Add dry ingredients and 1 teaspoon vanilla and mix until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips (we prefer one cup semi-sweet and one cup milk chocolate chips). Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop dough, and roll into balls. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and top dough balls with extra chocolate chips.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes.
- While still warm, use the back end of a metal spatula to round out the cookies and add any more chips needed. Sprinkle on flaky sea salt if desired. Let cookies sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then remove to a rack to cool.

Notes
- Pretty cookies. The key to making the cookies look pretty is to add a few chocolate chips on top of the scooped or rolled cookie dough before baking. Use a metal spatula to round out of the cookies once removed from the oven. Add any more chocolate chips, if needed and sprinkle on flaky sea salt, if desired.

- Store cookie dough. Cover the dough with plastic and store in the fridge for 1-2 days or freeze for 2 months. See How to Freeze Cookie Dough for tips.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
