Ingredients

  • 1 cup of softened butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups of packed light brown sugar
  • 2 egg
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups flour*
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips**

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350
  • While the oven is preheating, in a stand mixer cream together the butter, sugars, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Add about a third of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and mix until combined. Repeat two more times with the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Roll into balls and place 3-4 inches apart on a nonstick cookie sheet.
  • Bake in a 350 degree oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie are golden and the center is set but slightly soft.

Notes

* you can use gluten free all purpose flour, but cut the amount down to 2 1/4 cups since it is slightly denser than regular flour
**TBH, I just fold in all the chocolate chips in a bag. Sometimes more. Because you can never have too many chocolate chips.
