Preheat your oven to 350ºF and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the 1 cup butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup brown sugar and mix on low-medium until smooth. Add in one egg at a time, incorporating into the mixture, then add in the 1 tsp vanilla.
Turn off the mixer and add in the 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Mix on medium speed until a firm dough forms, about 1-2 mins.
Add in the chocolate chips and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon size spoon, drop even sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet separating them by at least 1 inch. Bake for 12-14 mins then cool on a rack.
Notes
You can make the cookies larger by using a larger cookie scoop, bake for 16-17 mins.
