How to Make Buttermilk Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/2 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just blended. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups dark chocolate chips.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. (Remember, we like them gooey!)
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
