Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Easiest Ever Cookies with a glass of milk, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
