Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, adding cinnamon if desired.
  3. Cream the butter with granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Form the dough into 1-1.5 inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden; centers should appear slightly underbaked.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
