In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar.

Next, add in the vanilla and eggs. Beat until combined.

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

Then slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture and mix just until dough comes together.

Gently stir in desired amount of chocolate chips.

Using a cookie scoop (I used size #40) place dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Place baking sheet in freezer for at least 3 hours to overnight.

Take the frozen cookie dough and place into a freezer bag(s). Write the following instructions:
