Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream the butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
