Brooke Homec
These chocolate chip cookies are made without brown sugar, but still remain very soft and chewy on the inside with a crispy outside. A perfect classic that will soon become a staple in your kitchen!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (227 g) butter room temp
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temp
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups (420 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (340 g) chocolate chunks or chips milk or semi-sweet
  • flaked sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mix until smooth on low speed. Beat in vanilla.
  • Slowly mix in baking powder, baking soda, salt and flour, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
  • Fold in chocolate.
  • Scoop the dough into desired size cookie balls. I like to use a 3 tablespoon scoop for these. Place 8-9 on sheet per baking so they don't run into eachother.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Notes

The butter and eggs should not be completely chilled from the fridge, allowing them to get to be room temperature is always best. I try to let them sit out for about 45-60 minutes before I begin my cookie making!
There is no chilling required for this dough, but I still like to if I have the time. It always helps to lend itself to a slightly better flavored cookie, and also helps with the spreading.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
