Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

Cream the butter and sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add eggs and vanilla:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until fully incorporated.

Mix dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the bread flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Combine wet and dry ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Add mix-ins:
Fold in the chocolate chips (or other mix-ins) with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Scoop the dough:
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look just set.

Cool and enjoy:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
