Preheat the oven to 350?F (175?C).

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
