1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat your 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.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure the butter is properly softened for a smooth creaming process.
Do not overmix the dough to maintain a tender texture.
Adjust baking time for larger or smaller cookies as needed.
