Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
  2. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 1-2 minutes until creamy.
  3. Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then pour in the pure vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until incorporated, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Cover the cookie dough tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown and centers are soft and puffy.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
