Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl with a paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugars until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat for another minute or so, scraping the sides of the bowl halfway.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Using a large cookie scoop (3tablespoons of dough per cookie), shape the dough into 24 balls and place 8 cookies per baking sheet.
Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Note 1: For best results, I recommend using a food scale; you can also use the spoon-and-level method, scooping flour into a measuring cup. Storage: Transfer cooled cookies to an airtight container, and store at room temperature for up to 5 days. Or, freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature to serve.
