Here is a straightforward and delicious classic chocolate chip cookie recipe: Ingredients:

• 1 cup softened salted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until combined.
4. Beat in eggs and vanilla until light.
5. Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until combined.
6. Stir in chocolate chips.
7. Roll about 2-3 tablespoons of dough into balls and place on baking sheets spaced apart.
8. Bake 8-10 minutes until just beginning to turn brown at edges.
9. Let cookies sit on the baking pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
