Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s perfectly hot when you’re ready to bake.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

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

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, beating at low speed until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving some space between them.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look soft.

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