Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Mix in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in batches and mix on low just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a tall mound.
- Arrange 4 mounds on each prepared baking sheet, leaving about 3 inches between them.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 13 to 16 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and set while the centers remain puffed and soft.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool.
Notes
For tall cookies, shape each portion into a mound rather than flattening it. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days; freeze baked cookies or dough portions for up to 3 months. For a dairy-free swap, use dairy-free butter and semisweet chocolate chips.
