Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup butter room temperature
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ⅓ cups chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Cream the butter and sugars together at medium-high speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until combined. Mix in the vanilla.
  • Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix just until the flour is no longer visible in the dough.
  • Mix in 1 cup chocolate chips on low speed or stir them in with a wooden spoon.
    If you desire thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes, up to overnight. Otherwise, carry on ...
  • Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place them 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Add the rest of the chocolate chip cookies to the tops of the cookies.
    Bake for 9-12 minutes or until the edges just start to turn golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 3-5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool the rest of the way.

Notes

Use room temperature butter, not soft and squishy butter. 
Ensure you don't add too much flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife. 
Bake until the edges just start to turn golden brown and the centers still look a little undercooked. 
Use a dark pan to keep the cookies from spreading too much.
