- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
- 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat together butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Mix in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
- Add your choice of chopped chocolate— I used Kinder Chocolate cut into 1/4″ pieces. Mix the into the cookie dough.
- Shape approx. 60 grams of cookie dough into tall balls and place on your prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until a light golden brown. Be careful not to over bake them!
- Remove from oven and immediately press in the chocolate to the top of each cookie. Allow another 10 minutes on the tray before removing to a cooling rack.
- Enjoy warm with a glass of milk! These will keep fresh for up to a week in an airtight container at room temperature!
