Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add in the eggs one at a time and mix well, then stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed.

Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.

Chill the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and centers are soft.

Cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
