Instructions
Cream the butter and sugars together. Add one egg at a time, mixing in between. Then stir in vanilla to combine.
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in thirds mixing between each addition until they are combined. An electric mixer with a paddle attachment makes this easiest!
Mix the chocolate chips in by hand until they are evenly distributed. Scoop heaping rounded tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, evenly spaced, about 2" apart.
Bake at 350˚F for 9-11 minutes or until the center of the cookie is just set. Let cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes then transfer to a wire cooking rack.
Notes
Dough should not be sticky or crumbly.
If the dough is sticky, add in flour 1 tbsp at a time until it it is not sticky.
If the dough is crumbly, add in water 1 tsp at a time until it holds together and does not crumble.
This recipe is calculated for about 1.5-2 tablespoons of dough to make each cookie. You can make 18 extra large cookies by using 1/4 cup measure, or 6 dozen small cookies by using 1 tbsp of dough. Cooking time will vary based on size of cookie.
After baking, cookies can be stored in an airtight container or frozen
