Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 360 degrees. Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy. I use an immersion blender. Add both eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add sifted baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated. Finally, add chocolate chips and mix. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet. I lined mine with foil. Bake for 10 minutes and then check to see if they are ever-so-slightly brownish. I usually bake one minute longer. It is essential that you take the cookies out at the first sign of browning. They should appear slightly underdone. Transfer to a flat surface like a cutting board.
The trick to good cookies I've found is the right amount of flour and under-baking.
