Add the softened butter to a mixing bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar, then beat until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract.
Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mix until a soft cookie dough forms.
Add the chocolate chips and gently fold them into the dough.
Scoop portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
Serve and enjoy!
