Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a large cookie scoop or about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your big, thick chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk!
