Notes

Using both baking soda and baking powder in this recipe creates the perfect balance of rise and chewiness. The baking soda helps the cookies spread while providing a delightful, crispy edge, while the baking powder ensures a tender, fluffy interior, resulting in that iconic cookie texture we all crave.
