Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Cream Butter and Sugars
    In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla
    Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Combine
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Chill
    Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for best results.
  6. Bake
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  7. Cook
    Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set. Do not overbake.
  8. Cool
    Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tip:
For extra chewy cookies, let the dough rest in the fridge overnight. It deepens the flavor and creates a soft center with slightly crisp edges.
