3cups12 oz all-purpose flour *If at all possible, please weigh the flour (I used 1 oz more flour for high altitude baking)
1tsp.smallish-medium coarse sea salt *please do not use table saltthe sea salt gives the cookies a nice flavor and hints of texture.(I thought it was a little salty and would use less salt next time)
1tsp.baking soda
1 ½tsp.baking powder
2cups/16 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips *I use Nestle Toll-House
Instructions
Preheat oven to 360 degrees.
Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (approx. 5 minutes on medium speed on a K-5). Add both eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated. Finally add chocolate chips until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium cookie scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are nice and golden brown. Remove from heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes. Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface. Allow the cookies to cool on the paper for at least 3 minutes before serving
