2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. 
3. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and both sugars together until creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until well combined. 
4. Gradually add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. 
5. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
