Ingredients
Method
Preheating the Oven
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s heating up, grease and flour a baking sheet.
Creaming the Ingredients
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Adding Eggs and Vanilla
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Combining Mixtures
- Gradually add the dry mixture to your creamed mixture, mixing until just blended. Be careful not to overmix!
Folding in Chocolate Chips
- Gently stir in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scooping the Dough
- Drop spoonfuls of your cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, allowing space between each scoop.
Baking the Cookies
- Place your cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Cooling the Cookies
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a thicker cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. These cookies can be enjoyed warm or paired with milk, coffee, or made into sandwiches with frosting.
