1-Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line three baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2-In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside for later use.

3-Cream together the softened butter and both sugars until fully combined, creating a smooth base for your dough.

4-Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is light, about 1 minute, to add richness and flavor.

5-Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, avoiding over-mixing for the best texture.

6-Stir in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.

7-Roll 2 to 3 tablespoons of dough into balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets.

8-Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cookies just barely start to brown. Remember, they should appear slightly doughy when removed to keep them soft.

9-Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
