Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter with both brown and white sugars and beat until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition, then pour in the vanilla extract and blend until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.

Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden edges form while the centers remain soft.

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