1-In a large bowl, beat together the: In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and sugars with a hand mixer or stand mixer for about 5 minutes, until the sugar is almost all dissolved into the eggs. Test: rub some between two fingers and it shouldn’t feel grainy.

5-Add in the flour, salt, baking powder: Add in the flour, salt, baking powder and chocolate chips. Fold it in until just combined. Make sure not to over-mix.
6-Cover the dough and refrigerate until it: Cover the dough and refrigerate until it just slightly firms up to be able to scoop into cookies. About 20-30 minutes. Don’t leave it in the fridge for too long as the dough will kind of dry out and the cookies won’t come out as shiny. Preheat the oven to 350℉ while the cookie dough is in the fridge.
7-Scoop the dough onto a lined baking: Scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, placed around 2 inches apart.
8-Bake for 10-12 minutes until the bottom: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the bottom and edges are set. For more gooey/fudgy cookies, bake for around 10 minutes. For cookies that are a bit more set, bake for around 12 minutes. After taking them out of the oven, I like to bang, or drop the pan on the counter. This helps the cookies crack a little bit more.
9-As the cookies cool, after a few: As the cookies cool, after a few hours, the cookies will set up more.
10-Let the cookies cool and store in: Let the cookies cool and store in an airtight container.
