3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Mix. 
4. Now add the flour and the buttermilk to the main bowl. Give it another mix to combine.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
6. With a standard ice cream scoop – scoop out the dough onto the lined baking sheets. About 2-3 inches between each one to allow enough space to spread out. Bake for about 11 minutes or until lightly browned.
