Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

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

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

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

Fold in the milk chocolate chips gently with a spatula.

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

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

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