Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.

Mix in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract.

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

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

Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

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

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
