Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in one egg and a splash of vanilla extract and mix until combined and smooth.
  4. Gradually add all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Fold in mini semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Portion out dough into 1.5 tablespoon-sized balls and optionally roll in granulated sugar before placing on the baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 8 to 11 minutes until edges are set but centers are slightly undercooked for a chewy texture.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
