- Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside

- Add eggs one at a time. Mixing well after each addition.

- Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Drop in chocolate pieces and incorporate with wooden spoon as to not break the chocolate.
