Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13-inch rectangular baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave (about 30-45 seconds). Allow it to cool slightly.
Add the light brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into bars or squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
