Baking Instructions

  2. Cream unsalted butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Incorporate eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop dough balls (2-3 tablespoons each) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them out.
  8. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes for thicker cookies if desired.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers are still soft.
  10. Let cookies sit on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Chill dough for thicker cookies.
