Servings 12
Cost 5
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter softened (170 grams)
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (125 grams)
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (125 grams)
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- 1 egg (50 grams)
- 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour (260 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat butter and sugars until smooth. Add vanilla and egg and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour, soda, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cream of tartar. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and stir until incorporated.
- Divide the dough into about 12 equal sections (you can make them smaller if you want) and shape into balls. Place dough balls 3 inches apart (6 per cookie sheet) on parchment lined or non-stick cookie sheet and flatten tops slightly.
- You don't want to flatten it too much, you just don't want it to look like a ball. Bake for about 15 minutes or until brown around the edges. Cool slightly on cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to set: remove from baking sheet. Cool on wire rack. Makes about 12 big cookies.
