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 together the softened butter and the two sugars until fluffy.
- Add the eggs, salt, vanilla extract, and baking powder, then beat until well mixed.
- Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until the dough is non-greasy. If necessary, add up to 1/4 cup extra flour.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between sheets of parchment paper and chill for 30 minutes.
- Cut the chilled dough into shapes and place them on a lined baking sheet; chill again.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, removing them before the edges turn brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
Chilling the dough helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
