Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation:

Prepare the dough

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until well combined.

Add dry ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Bake the cookies

  1. Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each scoop.
  2. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
  3. Take the cookies out of the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
