1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2: Make the Dough
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 4: Add the Mix-Ins
5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, pretzels, nuts, cranberries, coconut, and sprinkles.
Step 5: Shape and Bake
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Customizable: Swap in your favorite mix-ins like toffee bits, M&Ms, or crushed candy canes.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze the dough for later use.
