Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 2½ cups all-purpose flour (add an additional ¼ cup if dough seems too sticky)
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)

Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a stand alone mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (can use hand held too), cream together butter and granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time and mix, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Mixture may look lumpy.
With the mixer on low-speed, slowly add the bowl of dry ingredients and mix just until dough comes together, it may be a little crumbly which is totally fine! You do not want to over mix the dough, otherwise the cookies can flatten when baked.
Lastly, mix in chocolate chips. Place dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes - 1 hour to firm up. Dough will be pretty firm already, but I find that cooled dough bakes better. If the dough is too warm or sticky, the cookies may flatten out.
Drop heaping spoonful's of batter onto the baking sheet. Mine were about 3-4 tablespoons each.
Bake for 9-12 minutes (baking time will depend on oven) until edges are golden. Let cool on baking sheet for a few minutes than transfer to cooling rack. |
