Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies like Chips Ahoy

Makes 42 cookies using the 1¼ inch cookie scoop which I bought from my friend at the Pampered Chef. The cookies are crunchy like the Chips Ahoy packaged cookies instead of soft and chewy like the Nestle Tollhouse recipe. Crunchy cookies travel better in lunch packs and road trips.

Ingredients

• 1¾ cups sifted flour (sift flour before measuring)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment. 
• Sift or whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. 
• Cream butter and both sugars with electric mixer. Add egg and vanilla and beat until egg is mixed in. 
• Add flour mixture and stir until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. 
• Drop onto the parchment lined cookie sheets using cookie scoop or rounded teaspoon and bake for 12-15 minutes (or longer) until the edges start to brown. The baking powder prevents the cookies from browning quickly, so it seems the cookies can bake a longer time and become crunchier without burning or getting overly brown.
• Remove cookies from the baking pan after cooling for a couple minutes. Let cool completely on wire rack. Store in airtight container.
