Ingredients

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

½ teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 cups chocolate chips (12 oz)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fully combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Roll 2-3 tablespoons of dough into balls and place them evenly spaced on your prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes. The cookies should just be beginning to turn golden brown at the edges but still look soft in the middle.
  9. Allow the cookies to sit on the baking pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • No chilling required! You can bake the cookies immediately after preparing the dough.
  • For larger or smaller cookies, adjust the dough ball size and baking time accordingly.
  • For a healthier version, substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free butter and egg substitutes like flax eggs.
  • If you want extra chewy cookies, remove them from the oven while they’re still soft in the middle.
