Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs individually, beating thoroughly after adding each one. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Take another bowl and whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, ensuring a well-blended consistency.
Carefully mix in the chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution in the cookie dough.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to place rounded portions of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then move them to a wire rack for complete cooling.
