Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 Cup Chilled & Cubed Unsalted Butter (2 Sticks)
  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar Packed
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 3/4 Cup Flour

Instructions
 

  • Measure all chocolate/chips, cut your chocolate bars (with proper knife) into chunks with shavings (now) so it's ready. You decide how much chocolate you like in your cookies.
  • Preheat oven 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • With mixer cream butter (first) then add both sugars to the butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time then add vanilla. You don't need to overmix-just fullu combine.
  • In a separate smaller bowl combine all your dry ingredients - Flour, Salt, Baking Soda, & Baking Powder
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.
  • Gently fold in all your chocolate with your wooden spoon.
  • With your cookie scoop make cookie balls and place or stack them on a plate or in a container.
  • Now is the time to chill your cookie balls (covered) in the frig. If you're pressed for time chill a minimum of 30-45 min.
  • Ready for baking - Place your cookies in a row (properly spaced apart depending on size) on your cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a preheated oven - Bake 10-12 minutes until light to golden brown on the top and around the edges. Careful not to overcook as the cookies will still cook on the pan after being taken out of the oven.
  • Let cookies sit on the pan for 30 sec. They will go down a bit. With your spatula transfer cookies to your drying rack to cool.
  • Cool and enjoy and/or freeze extra to have for another time. See notes below.

Notes

*Double this recipe for more fresh cookies or freeze for later. 
*Add additional ingredients such as white chocolate chips, mint chips, pecans, walnuts, marshmallows, M&M's, or whatever you like. 
*Using multi-sized chocolate chips, chocolate bar chunks & shavings will make your cookies SO much better!! One-sized chocolate chips are just boring.  
*Use only real butter - not margarine or any other "fake" types of butter.
*Chill cookie balls in the frig between cooking.  
*Cook one pan of cookies at a time. 
*After cookies have cooled store in an air-tight container.  
*Freeze half the cookies in a freezer bag to enjoy later.  Just take out, defrost and enjoy fresh cookies any time!
