Cream together the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft.
Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
