Ingredients
🧂 1 cup of brown sugar
🧂 1 cup white sugar
🧈 1 cup melted butter
🥚 2 eggs
🍦 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
🧃 1/8 teaspoon salt
🌾 2 1/2 cups of flour
🔝 1 teaspoon of baking powder
🍫 2 cups of chocolate chips
Instructions
1- Prepare the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, and melted butter.
- Mix until well combined for a smooth, creamy texture.
2- Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
- Incorporate the eggs into the mixture, adding them one at a time for better integration.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring a consistent blend throughout the mixture.
3- Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the salt, flour, and baking powder.
- Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps and achieve a homogeneous dough.
4- Fold in Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5- Chill the Dough:
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- This step is crucial for developing the flavor and preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
6- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
7- Shape the Cookies:
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8- Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- The centers may appear slightly underbaked; they will firm up as the cookies cool.
9- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies!
