Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mixing
  1. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  3. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them. For extra flavor, sprinkle a little sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.
