If you're ready for a baking adventure that takes patience and persistence, you're in for a treat. Introducing the 48-hour chocolate chip cookie. Yes, you read that right. These cookies take two whole days to make, but the result is worth it: a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior packed with chocolatey goodness.

Cookie Ingredients:

- 2 cups of all-purpose flour

- 1 tsp of baking powder

- 1 tsp of baking soda

- 1 tsp of salt

- 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened

- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar

- 3/4 cup of brown sugar

- 1 tsp of vanilla extract

- 2 large eggs

- 2 cups of chocolate chips

Instructions:

Day 1:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixer, mixing on low speed until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

5. Cover the dough and chill it in the fridge overnight.

Day 2:

1. Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC).

2. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

3. Let the cookie dough sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften.

4. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into about 2 tablespoon-sized balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.

5. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and set in the center.

6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
