Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and put aside.
  • In the bowl of your mixer, add butter and both granulated and brown sugars and cream together for 3-4 minutes on high until light and fluffy.
  • Next add in eggs one at a time and milk beating until incorporated. Then add in pure vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
  • Turn down your mixer to low and add in flour mixture in three intervals beating after each addition until well-combined. Lastly, stir in chocolate chips.
  • Scoop cookie dough in balls the size of a tablespoon and place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart. These cookies spread a lot.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes and cool. Tip: Begin checking your oven around 10 minutes to ensure they don't burn or brown too much on one side. Rotate the cookies if needed.

Notes

Be sure to check the full post above for more tips, ingredient info, variations, storage tips, and much more!
  • Keep a Close Eye on Cookies During Baking. The baking time on these cookies is extended a bit to ensure a crisp end product. But you should also watch the oven to make sure they don't burn.
  • Not All Ovens Cook Evenly. Often ovens have hot spots so I recommend checking your cookies about halfway through cooking and rotate the tray 180 degrees if they seem to be cooking more quickly on one side.
  • Space Out Your Cookies. These cookies spread a lot which is what helps them turn out so crispy so be sure to leave plenty of room between your cookies.
  • Use a Cookie Scoop. It's the easiest way to ensure even-sized cookies. If you don't have one you can easily use a tablespoon measure instead.
  • Be Cautious Making Substitutions. The ratios of ingredients and their combinations is what makes these cookies cook up crisp. Any changes to them may change the results.
