Notes

Line your baking sheet with parchment paper, or use a silicone mat to prevent your cookies from sticking to the pan.
Space the cookies far enough apart on the baking sheet so they don't spread into each other when they cook.
Use a cookie scooper to portion the dough on the baking sheet for evenly baked cookies.
Let the cookies cool on a rack before serving them.
Chilling the dough prevents spreading. You can chill the dough for 30 minutes or even overnight! This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents a thin cookie.
Use fresh ingredients and always check the dates. Ingredients like eggs and baking powder must be fresh for the best quality cookies.
Use all one flavor of chocolate chips or a mix of semisweet and milk chocolate.
Don't overtake the cookies, as they will turn out dry. Also, remember they continue to cook as they cool on the baking rack.
Baking time continuously varies depending on many factors, such as the actual oven temperature, location, and the temperature inside your home.
