Steps:
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in seeds.
- Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low; gradually beat in flour mixture. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out dough 1 disk at a time to just under a 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Using templates, cut out letters with a paring knife. Reroll scraps; cut more letters (you'll need 14 D's and 7 A's, total). Freeze on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets until firm, 15 minutes.
- Bake until edges are golden, 15 to 18 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cookies cool on sheets set on wire racks.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. You can mix dark chocolate, semisweet chocolate chips, or even white chocolate chips. The article uses semisweet chocolate chips and Nestle Toll House brand.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugars. This will result in a lighter and creamier batter.
- Cream the butter and sugars together until they are light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes with a stand mixer or about 5 minutes with a hand mixer.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. If you add the eggs all at once, the batter may curdle.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Overmixing will result in a tough cookie.
- Chill the dough for at least 1 hour before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them to bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. This will give you a chewy cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to firm up and prevent them from falling apart.

These Dad's Cookies Copycat are the perfect treat for any chocolate chip cookie lover. They are soft, chewy, and packed with chocolate chips. Made with simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone.
