Ingredients

2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 lb butter 2 sticks, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and sugar until creamy.
Add eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Gradually add the flour and baking powder. Stir until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed in the dough.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving about 1-inch space between cookies.
Bake for 10 minutes. Even if the cookies look slightly undercooked, remove them from the oven to prevent overbaking.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Enjoy warm or store for later!

Notes

For an extra chocolatey experience, add a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week for freshness.
