These soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar are essentially a vanilla sugar cookie with chocolate chunks added. Soft with crispy edges.
In a small bowl whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
Using an electric hand whisk or a stand mixer whip the butter and sugar together for 2-3 minutes until light, pale and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
Switching to a spatula, add the flour mixture into the butter and sugar and gently mix until just combined, being very careful not to over mix. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop to place the cookie dough on a lined baking tray. Place in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. With the oven door open, lift one edge of the pan and drop gently. Bake for a further 2 minutes and repeat this process with the other side of the pan. Bake for a total of 14-15 minutes.
Notes
*The pan lifting is what creates those ridges around the edge of the cookies keeping them nice and chewy. *Use any kind of chocolate chip in this recipe. Milk, dark, white, or a combination of all of them.
