Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, making sure to space them about two inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden edges and slightly soft centers are visible.

Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
