These are so good, they disappear as soon as they’re out of the oven!

Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This ensures that the rising agents are evenly distributed and prevents clumping.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix—the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

Step 6: Fold in Chocolate Chips

Once the dough is well combined, gently fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts or toffee bits if using). The chocolate is what makes these cookies disappear so fast, melting beautifully during baking.

Step 7: Scoop the Dough

Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart. For uniform cookies, try to keep each scoop roughly the same size.

Step 8: Bake

Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft. The magic of these cookies is in their gooey center, so don’t overbake.

Step 9: Cool Slightly and Enjoy

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. This allows them to set just enough to handle. Transfer them to a wire rack if desired. But honestly, the best way to enjoy them is straight from the sheet—warm, soft, and irresistible.

Pro Tips for Maximum Deliciousness

1. Butter Temperature: Make sure your butter is softened, not melted. This creates the perfect texture.
2. Mix-ins: Feel free to experiment with white chocolate, caramel chunks, or dried fruit.
3. Storage: If any survive, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They also freeze well—just reheat for 10 seconds in the microwave to revive that fresh-from-the-oven feeling.
4. Timing: Keep an eye on your first batch—the perfect baking time can vary slightly depending on your oven.

These cookies are a testament to the magic of homemade baking. Soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate, they literally disappear as soon as they’re out of the oven. Perfect for sharing (or not), they’re ideal for a cozy afternoon snack, dessert, or a crowd-pleasing addition to any gathering.

Now, preheat that oven and watch your kitchen fill with irresistible aromas—these treats won’t last long!
