Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into 1.5-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheets approximately 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these cookies warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
