Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until edges are nicely golden.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
