Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the chopped chocolate (or chocolate chips) and nuts, if using, until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
