Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
I alway bake 1 tray of cookies and freeze the rest for later. This way is I always have freshly baked cookies. (If freezing thaw the dough and then bake.)

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk butter and sugars together with a hand mixer until creamy and fluffy.
- One by one, add two eggs and vanilla essence.
- Now, mix in flour and baking powder.
- Finally, add chocolate chip and make sure chips are evenly divided in the dough.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes in fridge.
- Scoop out 1½ tablespoon dough balls and set on large baking tray. Keep the each cookie dough 2 inches apart.
- Pre- heat oven at 350 F. Bake cookies in 3 batches, baking 9-12 cookies at a time.
- Set cookies dough balls on baking sheets two inches apart. Top them with chopped chocolate. Bake on middle rack for about 10 minutes until set. (Rotate tray if needed for even baking.)

Notes
Use 2¾ cup flour, but if your dough is too greasy and soft add remaining ¼ cup. Read cookie baking tips here for best results.
