Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (or Kosher salt)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (I like Ghirardelli)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (about 5 minutes). Do not skimp on the time here, you want the mixture to be very light in color.

Add eggs and vanilla to sugar mixture and beat for an additional 3 minutes.

Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour (slowly) until all ingredients except for chocolate chips are fully mixed together.

Fold in chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed.

Add half of batter into a greased (with butter, Pam, or Crisco) 9 inch skillet and place in the oven for 13 min. Stick a toothpick into the center, if it comes out clean the cookie is done. (I left mine the tiniest bit gooey on the inside so the cookie didn't have a chance to dry out, plus it is just more fun to eat it that way). :)
