Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

My go to cookie recipe when I just need a small amount of cookies to get us through the weekend. Super quick to mix together and you'll be eating delicious cookies in no time!  

INGREDIENTS

1 1⁄3 cups all-purpose flour

1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder

1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, at room temp

1⁄4 cup granulated sugar

1⁄2 cup firmly pcked light brown sugar

1 large egg, at room temp

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1⁄2 cup mini (or regular sized) chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

Pre-Heat oven to 350°F Have ready 2 ungreased baking sheets prepared with parchement paper. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl, set aside.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, cream the butter until fluffy and pale yellow. Add the granulated and brown sugars and continue beating until mixture is not too gritty when rubbed between your thumb and finger. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on low speed until blended, occasionally stopping the mixer and scraping the sides with a spatula as needed.

Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on low speed just until blended. Add the chocolate chip cookies and stir in with a spoon just until blended.

Using a medium cookie scoop, drop dough onto the baking sheets spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies until golden brown around the edges, about 11 minutes. Let the cookies cool briefly on the pans before transferring them to a tea towel to cool completely.
