Ingredients

2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup brown sugar (light or dark)

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 16 oz. bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 large eggs (preferably brown eggs)

1 tsp. baking soda

1 cup salted high-quality butter (NOT unsalted)

tablespoon of vanilla extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 (Farenheit)

  1. In a small bowl, combine flour and baking powder, set aside.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and brown and white sugars at medium speed until fluffy and light in color.
  3. Add the vanilla, beat on low speed until incorparated
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until incorparated
  5. Beat the flour mixture in three additions, beating at low speed after each addition.
  6. Remove bowl from stand mixer, mix in chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
  7. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
  8. Add cookies to the sheet by heaping spoonful. (about the size of a small scone for best results)
  9. Bake 10-15 minutes (IMPORTANT: this time is not nesecarilly acurate, it depends on your oven and how soft you want your cookies, they will be well done when they are golden brown, I however, like my cookies soft and just do it long enough so that the eggs are cooked through for safety reasons.)
