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

Notes
For best results, ensure butter is at room temperature and do not overmix the dough. Adjust baking times based on cookie size for optimal softness.
