Cream butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Whisk flour with baking powder, salt and baking soda; blend into creamed mixture. Add rest of ingredients and mix until blended.
Form into balls about 1 to 1-1/2” in diameter. Flatten slightly with your hands.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 min. Cookies should be light golden brown and slightly soft when removed from oven. Cool on the pan for a few minutes, before removing to a rack or paper to cool completely. (They'll firm up as they cool.) Makes about 4-5 dozen cookies.
