Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy freshly baked or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
