Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 (12-ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (12-ounce) package milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Cream butter and sugars: Using a stand or electric mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy, about 5–7 minutes. Add granulated and brown sugars, and continue beating until smooth and paler in color.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until creamy.
- Incorporate dry mix: Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring gently until just blended.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Layer the chocolate chips and dough alternately in a large bowl, ensuring even distribution.
- Chill the dough (optional): For an enhanced flavor, refrigerate the dough for 24–36 hours.
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Shape dough balls: Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough, roll them into balls, and place 8 per sheet.
- Bake cookies: Bake for 9–11 minutes until lightly golden. For softer cookies, bake at 325°F for 13–15 minutes.
- Cool and serve: Let the cookies rest briefly on the sheet before transferring them to cooling racks.
Notes
For added flavor, sprinkle sea salt on top before baking. Experiment with baking times to achieve your preferred texture.
