# Components:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 cup packed brown sugar
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
06 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
09 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
→ Chocolate
10 - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
# Method:
01 - Adjust oven racks to the middle position and preheat to 350°F (175°C).
02 - Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
03 - Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then blend in vanilla extract until well combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt to evenly distribute leavening agents.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
06 - Fold in chocolate chips by hand with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 - Portion dough into 2-tablespoon balls and arrange them spaced 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
08 - Bake batches for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centers are set, rotating pans halfway through for even cooking.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
