Title: How to Make Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Press down slightly to flatten.
7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, serve and enjoy these delicious chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk!

Note: Feel free to customize your cookies by adding nuts, shredded coconut, or drizzling melted chocolate on top.
