Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

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

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

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

Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.

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

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
