Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl cream together the butter and both sugars until fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • Add in the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Mix until just combined.
  • The dough will be very crumbly.
  • Stir in a ¼ cup of chocolate chips.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and form each portion into a ball. Just until it comes together.
  • Next press chocolate chips all over the top and sides of the cookies.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bake the cookies for 18 minutes.
  • When the cookies come out of the oven if there are any spots that look bare go ahead and add a chocolate chip to the hot cookie.
  • Cool 5 minutes and then transfer to a rack.
  • Serve!

Notes

  • The dough will be dry and crumbly but that's ok. You want the dough to have that texture.
  • Don't over mix after you add the flour or else the cookies will be tough.
  • Cooling the dough is crucial so the cookies don't overspread.
