Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cookies bake evenly.

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder (if making chocolate cookies). Mix until combined.
- 3
Cream Butter and Sugars
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- 4
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
Combining Ingredients
- 5
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Add Mix-ins
Fold in the chocolate chips, nuts, and dried fruits if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Baking
- 7
Form Cookies
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- 8
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
- 9
Cool
Remove from the oven and let the cookies sit on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
