Ingredients

• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 1 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 1/2 sticks butter, softened
• 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Sift together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Preheat oven to 350. Beat butter and sugars with a mixer until pale and fluffy, 4 minutes. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Add vanilla. On low speed, add flour mixture, beat until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop dough onto parchment lined cookie sheets with an ice cream scoop, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until golden around edges but soft in middle, 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
