Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Notes
Measure flour correctly: Spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife for accurate measurements.
Don’t overmix the dough: Mixing the ingredients just until combined will prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
Chill the dough: Refrigerating the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and texture.
Watch the baking time: Keep a close eye on the cookies in the oven to avoid overbaking, which can lead to dry, crumbly cookies.
Store leftovers properly: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the dough or baked cookies for longer storage.
