Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and place on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
