Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop generous portions of dough onto the baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.

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