my husband's favorite chocolate chip cookies

My husband started his second year of law school last week and as per tradition (this one is two years strong, people) I made chocolate chip cookies to celebrate his first day. This is a tradition I intend to continue with my children as they begin their own schooling. My hope is to have warm cookies fresh out of the oven for them to look forward to when they walk in the door after their first day of school each fall. This particular recipe is my husband's favorite chocolate chip cookie. Not only are they good, but they're easy to make and the batch makes around 2 dozen, which means they disappear faster and I don't have them staring me in the face, tempting me to eat them every time I walk into the kitchen.

My Husband's Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 c unsalted butter, softened

1 c light brown sugar

3 T granulated sugar

1 large egg

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 3/4 c all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 c milk chocolate chips

**Note: I usually use whatever chocolate chips I have on hand. So if I only have milk chocolate, I'll throw in 2 c and then add a little more because you can never have enough chocolate chips in your cookie.

Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 300 degrees. 

In a mixing bowl cream butter and sugars together until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Sift dry ingredients together in separate bowl. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. 

Bake at 300 degrees for 17-20 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies have cracked. Let cookies sit on cookie sheet for a few minutes before moving to cooling racks to finish cooling.
