Instructions
Set the oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 375 F. Arrange a12-muffin pan with liners or spray the pan with baking spray (with flour in it)and set aside.
Take a medium sized bowl and sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add sugar and beat until the mixture is light and creamy.
Add eggs, one by one, and mix after each incorporation. Stir in vanilla and sour cream as well.
Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips in the batter.
Using an ice-cream scoop pour the batter in the muffins pan until it is filled by three-quarters, leaving a little space for it to raise evenly.
Bake the muffins for about 16 – 19 minutes, until the wooden skewer or tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean and the sides are golden brown.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Do not Overmix: One important thing to remember is to make sure that just add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix it or the gluten strands in all-purpose flour will be activated that will result in tough and hard muffins.
