Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips plus a few extra on top
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the butter into a large bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds - see notes.
- Add both the sugars to the butter and beat with electric beaters for 1 minute. Mix in the egg and vanilla.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this to the wet ingredients and mix just until it's combined - do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Roll 12 balls of dough and place them on the baking sheet - see notes. Press a few extra chocolate chips onto the top, if you'd like. Put the baking sheet into your fridge for half an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Put the chilled cookies into your oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until puffed up and ever so slightly starting to color. Let them cool for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.

Notes
- The butter should be nice and soft, but not completely melted. The time it needs in the microwave will depend on how soft it is to start. Room-temperature butter needs 25-30 seconds to soften while butter from the fridge will take 40-45 seconds. See the picture to know exactly what the butter should look like!
- Unless your baking sheet is very dark, you don't need to line it with parchment paper. We do as our pans are well-used and not the prettiest to look at.
