Yield: Approximately 25 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 – 1 cup of butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or greasing lightly.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter (softened), eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a wooden spoon to thoroughly mix the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
-
Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture, about 1 cup at a time. Stir well after each addition until the flour is fully incorporated. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
-
Add Baking Powder and Chocolate Chips: Once the flour is mixed in, sprinkle in the baking powder and fold in the chocolate chips. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough for a balanced chocolatey taste in every bite.
-
Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave some space between each cookie to allow for spreading while baking.
-
Bake: Slide the baking sheets into the preheated oven and bake the cookies for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
These easy chocolate chip cookies are best enjoyed warm with a glass of cold milk or alongside your favorite hot beverage. Share them with loved ones or savor them all to yourself โ either way, they’re sure to bring joy with every bite! ๐ช๐ฅ
