Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add salt, vanilla extract, and eggs, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda, then gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring gently.
Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to place dough balls on the prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the centers remain slightly soft.
Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
