How to Make Heidi's Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup shortening using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar; cream until well combined.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on medium speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips (or more, if you're feeling decadent!).
- Using a large cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
