Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

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

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 in the dry ingredients until just combined.

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.

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