Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.

Cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy and light in color.

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

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Scoop tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
