might as well just hand it over, lol. this is my ingredient list:
1 Cup (2 sticks) Butter
2-1/3 Cup Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Milk
1-1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla
1 Bag (~11-12oz) of Choco Chips (substitutable)edit: note: 2 eggs are for 1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk
edit 2: my steps… might as well…
#Melt Butter
melt the butter and let it cool slightly
#Mix 1
Mix together flour, salt, baking soda
putting onto paper plate after mixing works well here…
#Mix 2
In mixer, add butter, sugar, & brown sugar, and beat for 2 minutes
#Mix 3
Mix together 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, milk, vanilla
#Mix 3 & 2
Mix 3 into mix 2 on slow/stir
#Mix Plate
Slowly pour Mix 1 into main mix, make sure it fully mixes
#Add Chips
Pour in your chocolate (or whatever type) chips; mix on slow/stir until combined, then turn off.
#Chill
Chill in the fridge for 1 hr
#Prep & Bake
Split into 24 cookies. Use parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 375F.

You superstar! I’ve screenshotted it thanks so much. Is flour just plain flour? And do they go chewy not cakey because I feel cursed atm

yes, i use all-purpose flour (same as plain flour, just american); these have that cookie texture, not the cakey texture (a small rise, but not a ton)

oh, saw another problem here. use baking soda for regular choco chip cookies.
baking soda == baking powder without the rising element. the acidity of the cookie will bring less fluffiness/cakiness than the full rise from powder. for a reference on amount (sorry, i am american so i use cheeseburger measurements…), i use 2-1/3c flour to 1 teaspoon baking soda; not cut with baking powder
edit: i think i said that wrong. baking soda has the rising agent, but not the activator for the rising agent. baking powder has the activator.
cheeseburger measurements
I love it! I’ve also heard this referred to as “… in freedom units”
