Preheat oven to 375°F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Cream together softened salted butter, brown sugar and white sugar in stand mixer with paddle attachment or in large mixing bowl with hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg. Then beat in the vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients: baking soda, baking powder, salt, and all purpose flour. Mix on low speed just until everything is evenly incorporated.
Fold in chocolate chips or mix in on low speed.
Using a ⅓ cup or 3.25 oz ice cream scoop, make 12 cookie dough balls and place 6 on each prepared baking sheet.
Roll dough into balls and flatten just slightly with the palm of your hand. Not too much. If desired, add a few chocolate chips on top for an extra pretty presentation.
Bake one pan at a time, in center of oven for 13-15 minutes.
Let cookies cool on pan for 5 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
