Ingredients

  • 3 cups bread flour gives the cookies a chewy texture
  • 1 tsp baking powder helps the cookies rise slightly
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda adds leavening for softer cookies
  • 1 tsp salt enhances flavors
  • 1 cup cold butter provides rich flavor
  • 1 cup brown sugar adds moisture and caramel flavor
  • 1 cup granulated sugar sweetens the cookies
  • 2 eggs binds ingredients
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract infuses cookies with aroma
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for classic cookie experience
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips adds extra chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, cream together the cold butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined to keep cookies tender.
  • Gently fold in the standard and mini chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto lined baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are just set. They will firm up as they cool.
  • Let cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
