Ingredients
- 2 Sticks 1 Cup Unsalted Butter, room temperature
- 1-½ Cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
- ½ Cup Granulated White Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs room temperature
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ Teaspoon Almond Extract
- 3 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 Cups Semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Pass the flour, salt and baking powder through a sieve and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer add the butter and brown and white sugar and mix until creamy and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs one by one until mixed.
- Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix just until combined.
- Add the flour mixture, ½ cup at a time until combined.
- Add the chocolate chunks and give a quick mix through (just a few rotations to make sure they’re incorporated).
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper use a large 2” cookie scoop and place onto cookie sheet – make sure to leave 2” between each cookie.
- Bake for about 12-14 minutes, just until the edges have browned.
- Remove from the oven and allow to sit on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling wire rack.
Notes
Try to keep the edges of the scoops of cookie dough nice and smooth/tidy. This will give a nice polished look to your cookies.
Make sure not to use melted butter, it should still have most of it's form. Using melted butter will work against you making those nice chunky chewy cookies!
This chocolate chip cookie recipe is my go-to every time. I've used it for years and my kids still beg me to make them all the time! It has stood the test of time.
You don't have to use an electric mixer, you could mix this all by hand. Be prepared for some serious stirring though!
Make sure not to use too much flour and measure taking spoonful's of flour and filling up a measuring cup then using a knife to swipe across the top. Using too much flour will reduce the softness/chewiness.
