Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and the baking soda. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt together until creamy.

Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Gradually add the flour mixture into the bowl, mixing until just combined.

Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.

Scoop large tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers remain soft.

Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
