Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
This chocolate chip cookie recipe yields rich, chewy cookies filled with chocolate and promises to be a favorite among family and friends. Below are ingredients and step-by-step instructions for preparing these delightful treats.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2-3 cups chocolate chips or chunks (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
4. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Chill the Dough: For the best results, cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step ensures a thicker cookie with a chewy center.
6. Form and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, placing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly brown but the center is still soft. Remove from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Serve & Enjoy: Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookie dough balls for future use.

Tips for Success:

• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your butter and eggs are at room temperature for even mixing and better texture.
• Avoid Overbaking: Watch the cookies closely as they bake to ensure they remain soft and chewy.
• Experiment with Mix-Ins: Consider adding nuts, white chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for additional flavor.
