1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden but the centres still look slightly underdone. They will firm up as they cool.
9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
