Notes

  •      Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature
  •      This recipe is for soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies. However, if you like your cookies a little bit on the cakey side, you can simply replace the baking soda in this recipe with baking powder, add 2 extra tablespoons of flour and 4tbsp for brown sugar rather than 6tbsp
  •      If unsalted butter is not in hand, you can just use regular salted butter and exclude the salt in this recipe
  •      Make sure you combine the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This is a crucial step.
