Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Muffins

0 Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
1 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2 In another bowl, mix the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
3 Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the whole milk and vanilla extract.
4 Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
5 Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top of the muffins.
6 Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost to the top. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on the muffin tops.
7 Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8 Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
