Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until creamy and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
