The Very Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Ever

I realize there are millions of chocolate chip cookie recipes
out there with bold claims of being the best,
but really…… these babies are genuinely awesome!

Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups (12 oz) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 cups/16 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 360 degrees F.
Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar
until it is nice and fluffy for five minutes.
Add both eggs and vanilla
and beat for an additional 2 minutes.
Add baking soda, baking powder, salt,
and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated.
Finally add chocolate chips until well distributed.
The cookie batter should be somewhat thick.
Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough
onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until the
edges are nice and golden brown.
Remove from heat and allow the cookies
to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes.
Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies
still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface.
Allow the cookies to cool on the paper
for at least 3 minutes before serving.
