Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together 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 mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
