Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined

In a large stand mixer, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract

Gradually add dry ingredient mixture to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined

Fold in chocolate chips using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart

Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are set but still soft

Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
