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

In a medium bowl, whisk all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well blended.

In another bowl, beat softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until smooth.

Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients in batches, stirring gently until combined.

Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, place dough balls two inches apart on prepared sheets.

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden brown.

Let cookies rest on baking sheets for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
