Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Use a cookie scoop or tablespoons to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.

Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your freshly baked cookies!
