Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375℉.
- Melt your butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Make sure it's not too hot. *See note 1
- Add melted butter, sugar, and brown sugar to your mixing bowl or stand mixer and mix until combined.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs and mix until incorporated.
- Add baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined.
- Add flour and mix until combined, but don't overmix. Then add in chocolate chips and mix until combined.
- Using a standard cookie scoop drop cookies about 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are golden. In my oven they are done as pictured in 9 minutes. If you like yours to be a little more golden go a little longer. This will vary with preference and different ovens.
- Cool cookies for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet and then use a spatula and move to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Note 1: Make sure your butter isn't too hot. I turn off my burner when there are a few small chunks left to melt. It was 115 degrees Fahrenheit. If it's too hot it can affect how your cookies bake. If you find your cookies are baking flat then your butter was most likely too hot. You can chill the rest of your dough and try again.
Note 2: I use salted butter and use the 1/2 tsp of salt this recipe calls for. If you use salted butter and want to omit the 1/2 tsp it will be fine.
If you use unsalted butter I would recommend using 1 tsp for this recipe.
