Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup sugar
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Melt ½ cup butter and combine with 1 cup sugar in a mixing bowl, whipping until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Crack 2 eggs into the butter-sugar blend and pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until ingredients are completely incorporated.
- Sift 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt into a separate container.
- Gradually sprinkle the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to create a consistent batter without overmixing.
- Scatter 1 cup chocolate chips across the batter and fold them in delicately to distribute evenly.
- Position your oven rack in the center and heat to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a spoon to drop rounded dollops of batter onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for exactly 10-12 minutes, watching for golden edges as your signal of doneness.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and let the cookies rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy for the most tender cookies.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help the batter mix more smoothly and evenly.
- For gluten-free options, swap regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them soft and fresh for several days.
