First, make sure you use butter or half butter half shortening. Make sure the butter is softened but not melted. Make sure it is at room temperature. Leaving it out for a few hours will give you the best results. Mix this with the sugar and brown sugar. You might want to add more brown sugar than regular sugar.

Mix the butter and/or shortening and sugars well. Make sure there are no lumps of neither sugar nor butter or shortening. You need to make sure it is smooth, light, and fluffy. Be careful that there are no brown sugar clumps. Crumble the brown sugar with your hands after you measure it because brown sugar clumps easily.

Next add the two eggs and teaspoon of vanilla. Mix it well but do not beat. Mix it just enough so that it is combined completely, but do not beat it. You do not want to add air to the eggs and batter which can be done easily if you beat it vigorously too long. This will produce cakey cookies and not chewy chocolate chip cookies.

Next, stir in the dry ingredients, and then stir in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough for at least two hours or preferably overnight. Preheat the oven to 350° F. make sure it is completely preheated and that the dough is still cold. Make small 1 1/2 inch balls with the dough and space them about 2 inches apart on the pan.

The pan should be an ungreased cookie sheet. Make sure it is also cold. You could even put it in the refrigerator if you want. Don't make the balls until you are sure that when you're finished the oven will be preheated.

Put them in the oven for the right amount of time, about 8 to 12 minutes, and bake until golden brown. Make sure they are baked all the way, but not until they are dark just lightly golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them sit on the pan to cool for five minutes. Then, remove them from the pan and transfer them onto a wire rack. Serve them warm or let them cool completely.

To keep them chewy, make sure that you don't put dough on a hot or warm pan. This will make them crispy along the edges. Follow these tips for great chewy chocolate chip cookies.
