Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375F (190C) and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes airy and pale, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring thorough mixing after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually integrate dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring until just combined without overworking the dough.
- Gently fold chocolate chips throughout the mixture, distributing them evenly using a spatula.
- Portion dough into 2-tablespoon rounds, placing them 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges and slightly soft centers. Cookies will continue cooking after removal from oven.
- Let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and enhance flavor depth.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and consistent cookie texture.
- Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or semi-sweet for unique flavor profiles.
- For gluten-free options, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain similar consistency.
