Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and creamy. One at a time, beat in the eggs, then stir in the vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually stir in the flour until it is completely combined with the butter mixture. Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
Using rounded tablespoons, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully.
