Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.

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

Stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
