Ingredients:

* 3 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* ½ tsp baking soda
* ½ tsp salt
* 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
* Zest of 2 lemons
* ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
* 1 tsp vanilla extract

* 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
* ½ cup whipping cream

Directions:

- Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until it is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
