Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper.

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

Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until thoroughly combined.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients until combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips evenly into the dough.

Scoop generous amounts of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2-3 inches apart.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are slightly underbaked.

Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
