Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
• Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
• Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
