Directions
Gently heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep things from sticking. In a small bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Next, add the flour, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract, mixing everything until it comes together nicely. Fold in the chocolate chips so they’re evenly spread throughout the dough. Shape the dough into a single cookie and place it on your prepared baking sheet. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and look set. Let it cool down a bit before digging in—you'll want to enjoy it just right!
What To Serve With This Dish
Enjoy this cookie warm right out of the oven with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. It also pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a simple dessert.
Leftover Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To refresh, warm the cookie briefly in the microwave to bring back its soft texture.
