Cream the Butters and Sugars

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until the flour is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Drop Cookie Dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

Cool the Cookies
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
