In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear slightly underdone.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
