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, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

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 in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden brown.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
