The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever
Description
With slightly crispy edges and a still-gooey center, these chocolate chip cookies are simply the best.
Ingredients
•
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
•
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
•
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
•
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, softened
•
1 1/4 cups white sugar
•
1 cup light brown sugar
•
2 large eggs, at room temperature
•
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•
1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
1
Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl, and set aside.
2
Beat butter and sugars together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Beat for an additional 3 minutes. Add vanilla and beat for 10 seconds.
3
Reduce speed to low and gradually add in the flour mixture, blending just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
4
Scoop 1 1/2-inch balls of dough 3 inches apart onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet; freeze for 15 minutes.
5
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (225 degrees C).
6
Bake cookies in the preheated oven, rotating halfway through, until golden around the edges and slightly gooey inside, about 8 minutes. Let stand on the baking sheet for 4 to 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
