Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each egg before the next.

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

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between cookies.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown around the edges.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
