Servings: 30 cookies, depending on size of pan used
Calories: 266kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy (about 1 minute). Beat in the vanilla and eggs. Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon, spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. The dough may be thin, but will puff and close holes during baking.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and edges are lightly browned. Let cool and cut into squares.
Notes
Source: Eat2Gather
The baking sheet I use is about 12x17, but I have also used other sizes. You may need to adjust the baking time depending on the size of your baking sheet.
Optional: Before baking, sprinkle regular M&M's onto top of dough and lightly press. This is one of our favorite additions!
