Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare three baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Measure out the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and set aside.

- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.

Baking
- Scoop dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
For chewy cookies, don't over-bake them. For optimal flavor and texture, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
