Method
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside.
- Cream together the softened butter and sugars until they are well combined.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is light, which should take about 1 minute.
- Mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix them in thoroughly.
- Roll 2 to 3 tablespoons of dough at a time into balls. Place the dough balls evenly spaced on your prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cookies when they are just starting to turn brown.
- Let the cookies sit on the baking pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes
These cookies are calculated to make 36 cookies, with each cookie using 2 tablespoons of dough. Do not overbake; the cookies should still look slightly doughy when you remove them from the oven. If using a convection oven, decrease the baking temperature by 25 degrees. You can substitute unsalted butter, coconut oil, or vegan butter for the salted butter. Organic cane sugar can be used instead of granulated sugar. Dark brown sugar works but will add a stronger molasses flavor. Unbleached all-purpose flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend are recommended. Use pure, fine sea salt; if using table salt, start with ½ teaspoon and adjust to taste. You can use chocolate chunks or chopped chocolate instead of chips. To freeze dough, portion into balls, freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to an airtight container for up to 2 months. Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. To bake frozen dough, you can thaw it first at room temperature for about 1 hour, then bake as directed, or bake directly from frozen by placing dough on a parchment-lined sheet, preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (only for frozen dough), and baking for 15 minutes.
