Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer in a large bowl), cream butter and both sugars. Add eggs and beat until fluffy.
Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and vanilla, and mix until incorporated.
Fold in chocolate chips. Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop dough, roll into balls and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 9–11 minutes.
Let cookies sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then remove to a rack to cool.
Variations: These cookies are so easy to change up based on the add-ins and chips used. Other variations include:
