Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3
Add the vanilla extract to the mixture while continuing to mix.
4
Crack in the egg and blend until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
5
With the mixer turned off, add the flour, salt, and baking powder. Start mixing at low speed to prevent flour from flying out, then increase to medium until just combined.
6
Gently fold in the white and milk chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon. If you desire a more chocolatey flavor, sprinkle in 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and mix until combined.
7
Using two spoons or a cookie scoop, shape the dough into balls and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 7 minutes, or until the edges are barely turning golden brown. Remove from the oven to ensure a soft and moist center.
9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Resist the urge to dive in immediately to allow them to set up properly for a more satisfying texture.
