Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then blend in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop balls of dough onto the lined baking sheets, leaving space between each.
  8. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to reduce spreading.
  9. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and centers soft.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
