🍪 Chocolate Chip Cookies (No Brown Sugar)

Ingredients (Makes ~18 cookies)

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

🔧 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar:
    Beat the softened butter and white sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla:
    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  4. Mix dry ingredients:
    In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Combine:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined.
  6. Add chocolate chips:
    Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Scoop and bake:
    Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool:
    Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

✅ Tips:

  • If you want a chewier texture, you can add 1 tbsp of honey or maple syrup to help mimic the moisture from brown sugar.
  • For crispier edges, flatten the dough balls slightly before baking.
  • If the dough feels too soft, chill it for 30 minutes before baking.
