Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

• 3 cups all purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon sea salt

• 2 cups (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line three baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

7. Shape Dough: Scoop out 2–3 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets.

8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may appear slightly underdone; this is normal.

9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
