Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.

Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
