Chocolate Chip Cookies Without Brown Sugar

0 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2 In a large bowl using a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), add the butter and sugar and beat for 1-2 minutes, until light and creamy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
4 With the mixer on low speed, beat in the egg and vanilla extract just until combined.
6 Add the flour and baking powder and stir in with a rubber spatula until just combined, and no lumps.
8 Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
10 Using a 2 tablespoons cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough and arrange the dough balls 3 in apart on the prepared baking sheets. You will get 16-20 cookies.
12 Bake for 11 to 14 minutes, until the sides are lightly browned.
14 Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
