Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time and then stir in vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then fold into the wet mixture until combined.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.

Drop dough onto prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart and bake for 10-12 minutes.

Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
