Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (12 oz)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fully combined.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed.
- Roll 2-3 tablespoons of dough at a time into balls and place evenly spaced on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
- Let cookies sit on the baking pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Do not overbake—the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Chill dough for thicker cookies or if baking in a warm kitchen.
- Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies.
- Substitute chocolate chips with chocolate chunks for extra texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
