Instructions

Cream the room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar in a mixer on medium speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, continuing to mix until the dough is smooth and glossy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Set the mixer to low and slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing only until just combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or by hand until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough into 3-tablespoon mounds, place on a tray, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set the fats.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Arrange the chilled dough balls with ample spacing and bake for 9 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden but centers remain soft.
Immediately after baking, use a large round glass or cookie cutter to gently swirl around each cookie to create a perfect circular shape.
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

To achieve the signature bakery thickness, do not skip the refrigeration step; chilling the dough for at least two hours is essential to control the spread in a hot oven. For the best flavor profile, use high-quality dark brown sugar, as its higher molasses content contributes to the deep caramel notes and moist texture of the finished cookie.
