Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the baking soda, baking powder, salt, flour and chocolate chips. Mix until combined.
  4. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon size mounds (I use a #40 cookie scoop) and roll into balls. Place several inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  5. Bake for 10-11 minutes until the edges are just set and the middles are still light and fluffy.
  6. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for 3-4 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Butter: see this post about perfectly softened butter for cookies.
  • Flour Amount: if you want a slightly puffier cookie, increase the flour to 3 1/4 cups (16.25 ounces). These cookies freeze beautifully (both the formed cookie dough balls and the baked cookies).
