Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Making the Dough
  1. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft; let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For extra chewiness, underbake the cookies slightly. You can also add other mix-ins like nuts or other types of chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze the dough for later use.
