Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer or 5-7 minutes by hand.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, then mix in the vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating on low speed or folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly through the dough.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use butter softened but not melted for best texture. Avoid overmixing dough to keep cookies tender. Watch baking time closely to keep centers soft and chewy. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning. Dough can be chilled for 10-15 minutes for thicker cookies if desired.
