Instructions

- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: 2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: 3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: 5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: 6. Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough, ensuring each bite is packed with chocolatey goodness.
Shape and Bake: 7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
Cool and Enjoy: 9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness.
