Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

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

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.

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

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

Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

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