Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups nut-free chocolate candy pieces
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture.
Fold in the nut-free chocolate candy pieces until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
