Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
Sugars:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare workspace by heating oven to 375F (190C) and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Utilize electric mixer to whip softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until achieving a fluffy, aerated texture for approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs individually into butter mixture, ensuring complete integration after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt through gentle whisking. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring minimally to prevent tough cookie texture.
- Gently fold chocolate chips into dough using spatula, distributing evenly throughout mixture.
- Drop rounded two-tablespoon portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, maintaining approximately two-inch spacing between cookies.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges transform to golden brown and centers appear slightly soft. Cookies will continue cooking while resting on hot baking sheet.
- Rest cookies on baking sheet for five minutes, allowing initial cooling and structural stabilization, then transfer to wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Softening butter at room temperature ensures smooth, even mixing and helps create a perfectly creamy cookie base.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking prevents excessive spreading and creates thicker, chewier cookies with deeper flavor complexity.
- For gluten-free options, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend, maintaining the same measurements and mixing technique.
- Try different chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate, or mix multiple types for a unique flavor profile that keeps every bite interesting.
