Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 48 Hershey's milk chocolate pieces (or 12 oz chocolate chips)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate pieces until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra fudgy cookies, slightly underbake and let cool completely. Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
