In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Notes

For an extra chewy texture, try chilling the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking. You can also substitute the semisweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips.

Recipe Tips

- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing. - Don't overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies. - If you don't have parchment paper, you can lightly grease the baking sheet or use a silicone baking mat instead. - To make larger cookies, use a heaping tablespoon of dough instead of a level tablespoon.
