Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixing bowl, mixing until pale yellow and light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in the eggs one at a time, and then the vanilla until combined.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Portion 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll together to form a ball, spacing the dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Add the candy eyes to the cookies to each individual ball.
Bake until the edges just start to brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Allow to cool and enjoy with a glass of milk.
