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

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

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

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

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Scoop out portions of dough and form them into balls on the prepared baking sheets.

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

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
