Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure your cookies bake evenly.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing just until combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.

Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
