Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually combine with wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the semisweet or dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop cookie dough into balls and place on prepared baking sheets with space in between.
  7. For thicker cookies, chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
