Steps

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Cream together butter and sugars until combined.
Beat in eggs and vanilla until light (about 1 minute).
Mix in the dry ingredients until combined.
Add chocolate chips and mix well.
Roll 2-3 Tablespoons (depending on how large you like your cookies) of dough at a time into balls and place them evenly spaced on your prepared cookie sheets.
Bake in preheated oven for approximately 8-10 minutes. Take them out when they are just barely starting to turn brown.
Let them sit on the baking pan for 5 minutes before removing to cooling rack.

Made these several times! Soon good. I brown the butter and let it cool some. Them I let the dough cool. Other than that, followed the recipe!

I wrapped a turtle (the chocolate not the animal) in the dough in the center of each cookie. It was amazing!

Best Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe I have ever eaten. The flavor and texture are perfect. Baked exactly as written, no changes needed except a bigger dress size!

So the first time I made this, my cookies absolutely melted the second they were in the oven. I was so disappointed because there was no way with all the good reviews! Lesson learned: don't listen to music while adding ingredients 🤣 I only put one cup or flour instead of three. However, the browned butter edges were amazing over ice cream. Sorry for the blurb, just had to share my oopsie. These were phenomenal! I didn't have sea salt, so I followed the suggested of 1/2 tsp regular salt. It worked just perfectly. Thank you!
