Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

Incorporate eggs one at a time into the butter mixture and then stir in vanilla extract.

Gradually mix the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just incorporated.

Fold in chocolate chips using a spatula.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and let the dough rest while the oven heats.

Drop rounded balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.

Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are golden and centers appear slightly underbaked.

Cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
