Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour 
  • 1tsp baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients – flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  3. Cream together butter and granulated sugar and brown sugar with a hand mixer. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time and mix, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Mixture may look lumpy.
  4. 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.
  5. Lastly, mix in chocolate chips. Place dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up. This step is important as the cookies will spread too much if dough is not chilled.
  6. Form balls with the dough (approx 2 inches). Do not hold in hand too long or they will start to warm. Add them to a cool baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart.
  7. 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.
