There are some recipes that don’t just fill the home with a sweet aroma — they fill it with memories.

🎎 CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:
In many households, cookies represent comfort, love, and warmth. They’re the first thing kids learn to bake, and the last thing left on the plate after guests leave. Sharing a batch often becomes a tradition — one passed from parents to children.
In our home, these cookies are not just dessert — they’re the centerpiece of countless family moments.

📝 TIPS FOR SUCCESS:
Use room-temperature butter and eggs for a smoother dough.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking — it prevents spreading.
Don’t overmix once the flour is added — it keeps them soft.
Underbake slightly for chewy centers.
Use parchment paper or silicone mats for even browning.

👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
4. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined.
6. Fold in chocolate chips and any optional mix-ins.
7. Scoop dough (about 1.5 tablespoons per cookie) onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are still soft.
9. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
