Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Gradually blend in the dry mixture until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned.

Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
