  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  • Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the creamed butter blend, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
  • Drop rounded balls of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until edges are golden brown, but centers remain slightly soft.
