Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until creamy for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated before adding the next, then add the vanilla extract.
  4. Dissolve baking soda in hot water and add it to the batter along with salt, mixing gently.
  5. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until just combined to avoid tough cookies.
  6. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Use a cookie scoop to drop rounded portions onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
