2.5 cups all-purpose flour This gives the cookies that classic structure and thickness you crave.
1 teaspoon baking soda Helps the cookies rise while providing that perfect chewy texture.
1 teaspoon baking powder A little boost to guarantee fluffy cookies that stay soft.
1 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness and enhances all the flavors.
1 cup unsalted butter Softened for easy mixing; choose this for better control over salt levels.
0.75 cups granulated sugar Sweetens your cookies while aiding in that delightful crunch on the outside.
0.75 cups brown sugar Adds moisture and a rich, caramel-like flavor.
2 large eggs Bring moisture and act as a binding agent.
2 teaspoons vanilla extract Infuses a warm, comforting flavor.
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips The star of the show, providing pockets of melty chocolate.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop mounds of dough onto the sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

These cookies are freezer-friendly, allowing you to have a delightful treat ready whenever cravings hit.
