Prepare the dough. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until fully combined.
Combine the dough. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Add the chocolate chips. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. This may look like A LOT of chocolate chips. You're right, it is. This is part of what makes these cookies irresistible.
Scoop the dough. Scoop small portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
Bake. Bake at 375F for 8 to 9 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Cool and serve. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve and enjoy.
