Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cookies bake evenly.

Preheat Oven

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Cream Butter and Sugars

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Using a spatula, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Fold in Chocolate Chips

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.

Scoop Dough

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.

Bake

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
