Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
2. Shape and Bake the Cookies:
Form Cookies:
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
3. Cool and Serve:
Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve:
Enjoy the cookies warm or at room temperature with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
