Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips carefully to avoid overmixing.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
