Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here is a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe:

Ingredients:

- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1 cup packed brown sugar

- 2 large eggs

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

5. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. Drop tablespoon-sized dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
