This cookie recipe is super easy to make and can be made with just a mixing bowl, no mixer required. Since it uses melted butter, it MUST BE refrigerated before baking. Not wanting to wait to eat your cookies, I understand. Here is my classic Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, no chilling required.

STEP 1

In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and dry milk powder. Whisk to fully combine.

STEP 2

In a separate bowl combine the butter, both sugars, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.

STEP 3

Now combine the wet and dry ingredients just until fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.

STEP 4

Scoop onto prepared baking sheet and chill for at least 4 hours. Longer if you can wait that long. Remove from the refrigerator and bake for 15-16 minutes. Enjoy!
