Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream them together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
