Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Combine all dry ingredients: Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
Cream The Butter and Sugar: Using your mixer with paddle attachment cream the butter and sugars until fluffy, approximately 4 minutes. Reduce the speed of the mixer and add in the eggs and vanilla. Add in dry ingredients slowly and don’t overmix. Mix in chocolate chips slowly with a spatula.

This recipe is an excellent starting point for many cookies. Simply keep the rest of the recipe the same and substitute the chocolate chips for your ingredients of choice. Peanut butter cups, white chocolate, nuts, dried fruit, etc. are all delicious!
