Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (two sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a mixer, cream the softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until fluffy.
- Add in the eggs, salt, vanilla extract, and baking powder, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, adjusting with up to 1/4 cup extra until the dough is non-greasy.
- Fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips gently.
- Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two sheets of parchment paper and chill for 30 minutes.
- Cut the rolled dough into shapes, place them on a lined baking sheet, and chill again.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes, removing them from the oven before the edges turn brown.
- Let cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Notes
For a softer cookie, do not bake beyond 9 minutes.
Chilling the dough helps prevent excessive spreading during baking.
Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties for a unique twist.
