Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

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

      Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

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

          Fold in the chocolate chips.

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

              Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.

                Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
