Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper. (Tips: Preheat your oven early to ensure an even temperature.)
- Step 2: Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. (Tips: Sift the dry ingredients to prevent clumps.)
- Step 3: Cream together the butter and sugars until well combined. (Tips: Ensure the butter is softened to blend smoothly.)
- Step 4: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until light, about 1 minute. (Tips: Ensure each egg is fully incorporated.)
- Step 5: Mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Then add the chocolate chips and mix until distributed evenly. (Tips: Avoid over-mixing the dough.)
- Step 6: Roll 2-3 tablespoons of dough into balls and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheets. (Tips: Use a cookie scoop for uniform size.)
- Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until they just barely begin to brown. (Tips: They should look slightly underbaked when you remove them.)
- Step 8: Let cookies sit on the baking pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. (Tips: This helps them set without overbaking.)
Additional Information
