Prepare 1 or 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
Pour in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. Do not over mix. Pour in baking chips and stir until combined.
Scoop dough into prepared baking sheets, about 2 tbsp each. Space a few inches apart. Chill the dough on the baking sheets in the refrigerator for one hour before baking.
Preheat the oven to 375F/190C. Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes, or until slightly golden at the edges and just set in the middle. The bigger you make the dough balls the longer the baking time will be. Do not over bake!
