Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 36 servings 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter, softened 1 ¼ 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 Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl, and set aside. 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. Reduce speed to low and gradually add in the flour mixture, blending just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Scoop 1 1/2-inch balls of dough 3 inches apart onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet; freeze for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (225 degrees C). 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. Recipe Tip This is a great base recipe that can accommodate other mix-ins. I Made It Print 21 home cooks made it!
