just to make life easier for everyone here is the recipe:

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown suger
- ½ cup granulated sugar/ white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 and a ¼ cups of all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips

Method
1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees (fan forced) or 180 degrees (conventional oven) (THIS IS IN CELCIUS)
2. Put butter, brown sugar and white sugar in electric mixer and cream them together.
3. After they have creamed put eggs in one at a time, then put the vanilla extract.
4. After it is all mixed stop the mixer. In a separate bowl put the flour in it and add in the baking soda and salt, whisk them very well.
5. Add the dry ingredients into the mixer and mix them on slow speed until just combined, then add the chocolate chips and mix until just combined (don’t go any further or it’ll toughen the cookie
6. Baking tray with baking paper and get about a tablespoon of cookie dough and put on the tray and have each two inches apart.
7. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

Soda spreads, powder puffs. This is such a genius way to remember that and help get the perfect cookies. This is the best tutorial I've watched and I'm so excited to bake the soft, chewy ones. Thank you, Thomas!!!

I never knew that baking soda "spreads" and baking powder "puffs" (neeewb!). I just thought that both makes baked goods puff up. Interesting and good to know! No wonder my cookies are always puffy and not spreading much. I use baking powder predominantly. GREAT GREAT INFORMATION!!

I really love this channel, it tells how to make sure your baking things goes well and gives multiple choice on baking your own fav pastries whether it's going to be cakey chewy or even crisp. It's like science, doing science with food 😁

[boberikson]

So educational. Most cooking channel's assume that people already know some of the info you mentioned in the video. And then when you try the recipe at home it doesn't turn out the same. That's why I love you everyday foods.

[MrsChloeB]

I was looking for the perfect recipe for my cookies, and I couldn't find any that were right. This video SERVED and gave me options and tips like I didn't know that baking powder and baking soda had different effects like that. Thank you so much!

I just made like 5 different recipes looking for the right thin, crispy, and chewy cookie. This one was the clear winner! I was a bit worried when the butter melted so fast but seriously the texture was so light, crisp, and chewy! And the flavor was not too sweet and almost elegant. I also added a cup of chopped walnuts. Bravo on this one guys!
