The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies have a slightly crisp buttery edge and a soft center. No chilling, no weird ingredients. Just perfect chocolate chip cookies.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
Slowly mix in the flour mixture until combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir until just combined.
Scoop 1 ½ tablespoons of dough (I use this scoop) onto the baking sheet 2-inches apart from each other. Bake for 8-10 minutes or just until the edges start to brown. You can make them bigger if you like. Remove from oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes. I like to press a few chocolate chips on top at this point to make them look like bakery cookies. I also sprinkle with a little flaked salt to bring out the flavors.
