Ingredients

  • cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped up semi-sweet chocolate bar
  • flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg, mixing until combined.
  • Gradually add in dry ingredients. Mix until everything is combined, but don’t over-mix! Use a rubber spatula to fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Scoop dough onto the baking sheet with a cookie scoop (I used 2-3 tablespoon worth of dough).
  • Bake for 9-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown but the middle is still underdone. Press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven. Let them sit on the pan for about 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and let them cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients
  • Make sure to measure your flour correctly or use a kitchen scale to ensure you aren't adding too much flour, which will change the consistency of your cookies!
  • Take your cookies out before they are completely done so they don't overbake in the oven. 
  • Scoop individual cookies and put them in a freezer-safe container or baggie. That way whenever you have a late-night craving for a good homemade cookie, you can just take a few out and stick them in the oven!
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container or baggie at room temperature for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Leave out at room temperature to thaw.
