- Method: Bake
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1/4 cup water, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (I use 1/2 cup dark and 1/2 cup semi-sweet)
Instructions
- Cream together softened butter and sugars for several minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides.
- Gradually add in water and vanilla extract and beat to combine. (The water will cause the mixture to appear curdled. Turn your mixer on medium-high and beat for a few more minutes to bring the ingredients back together.)
- To a mixing bowl, add dry ingredients including flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and chill the cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes or more.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough to 2" balls. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake on the center rack at 350F until the edges are golden brown, for about 12 minutes. The cookie centers will look puffy and under-baked, but trust the process!
- Let the cookies cool to set. They will flatten out and continue cooking after they're removed from the oven. Wait until the cookies are set, 5 minutes or so, before transferring so they don't fall apart.
Notes
To make this recipe vegan, swap butter for vegan stick butter.
Chilling the cookie dough creates a chewier texture. I recommend at least 20-30 minutes, but you can also store the dough in the fridge for a few days and bake off a few cookies at a time as well!
I typically bake 4-6 cookies at a time so there is enough room for them to spread out.
For an under-baked cookie, bake 10-12 minutes. For a crispier cookie, bake 12-15 minutes.
Baking times and how your cookies will spread may vary depending on your oven!
