In a bowl add the sugars and butter and cream together until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until well mix. I a clean bowl add the dry ingredients and mix, add the flour mixture until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Drop small ice cream scoop full the dough unto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 17 minutes or until the edges are golden grown.Remove from the cookie sheet and transfer to a wire rack until completely cool.

Tips: We all have different preferences when it comes to cookie texture, soft and chewy, crispy or cakey.  For tin and crisp increase the butter to 1 1/3 cup  and sugar will be 1 1/4 cups of both sugars and for cakey reduce the butter to 3/4 cup change the sugar for 3/4 cup  white sugar and 1/4 cup of brown sugar.
