Baking Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Combine or sift flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.
3. Beat butter and sugars with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy (about 4 minutes).
4. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract, then reduce speed to low.
5. Add the flour mixture; beat until just combined. Mix in chocolate chips.
6. Drop about 3 tablespoon dough balls onto parchment-lined baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake until golden around the edges but soft in the middle (about 15 minutes).
8. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
