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

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.

In a large bowl, beat together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, ½ cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add in one large egg at a time and beat well after each addition, then stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low speed just until combined.

Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips using a spatula.

Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each scoop.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

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

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