Mix dry stuff first: In a bowl, add flour, baking soda, and salt. Give it a good whisk and set aside.

Blend sugars and butter: In another large bowl, add white sugar and brown sugar. Mix them together until smooth. Slowly pour in the melted butter while mixing.

Add eggs and vanilla: Crack in the eggs one by one, then pour in vanilla. Mix until it all looks creamy.

Combine the dry with wet: Add your flour mix in small parts. Stir slowly so the batter stays smooth. Don’t rush this step.

Add chocolate chips: Once the dough forms, toss in the chocolate chips. Stir until they’re spread evenly through the dough.

Chill the dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge for about 24 hours. This makes the flavor deeper and texture better.

Bake them up: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Scoop small balls of dough onto a baking sheet. Bake for about 4–5 minutes, then turn the sheet around and bake another 4 minutes until golden brown.

Cool and enjoy: Take them out, sprinkle a tiny bit of salt or powdered sugar on top if you like. Let them cool just a little before eating. They’re best warm, right from the tray.
