• Makes: 30 Pieces

Ingredients

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 1/2 sticks butter, softened
• 1 3/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1-2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, depending on how you like your cookies

Directions

• Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda together in a medium bowl.
• Beat the butter, brown sugar and white sugar in a bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy (about 4 minutes). Use the paddle attachment for a stand mixer. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the flour and beat until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dough and refrigerate at least one hour, overnight is even better.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silpats. Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool, or not.
