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 (about 12 oz)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
-
Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time until fully combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
-
Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
For chewier cookies, slightly underbake by 1–2 minutes.
-
Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for best flavor.
