Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick
baking mats; set aside. Don’t grease the baking sheets because this might cause
extra spreading.
2 In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream
together butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each
addition. Reduce speed to low and add vanilla, then add both flours, baking
powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate; mix until well combined.
3 Using a 4-ounce scoop for larger cookies or a 1-ounce scoop for smaller cookies,
(I used a very generously rounded tablespoon) scoop cookie dough onto prepared
baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
4 Bake until lightly browned, but still soft, about 20 minutes for larger cookies
and about 15 minutes for smaller cookies. If you use a rounded tablespoon, check
your cookies at 12 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheets before transferring
to a wire rack to cool completely.
