Why do my chocolate chip cookies always come out like this??? lol

Ive attempted to make chocolate chip cookies my entire life. I love store bought cookie dough cookies so much. But whenever I attempt homemade they come out pale, dense, smelling eggy and baking soda/powdery. No matter the recipe I follow, whether I chill the dough or don’t, and I tried hnot to over mix after adding the flour and yet I’m still left with these. I want gooey chewy golden cookies but for the life of me I can’t understand what I’m doing wrong! Any advice? Thank you in advance!
