Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda until fully combined.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Add the vanilla extract and one egg to the mixture, beat until incorporated, then add the second egg and mix again.

Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Using a scoop, place dough portions on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each scoop.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and centers are soft.

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

Enjoy your cookies warm or at room temperature!
