- Baking Soda: 1 teaspoon, helps the cookies rise and spread evenly
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon, balances sweetness and enhances flavor
- Unsalted Butter: 1 cup, softened, gives richness and that classic buttery base
- Granulated Sugar: 3/4 cup, adds sweetness and helps with crisp edges
- Brown Sugar: 3/4 cup, packed, adds moisture and a caramel-like depth

- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart
