Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla extract and eggs, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Transfer to wire racks to cool completely before serving.
