Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these ingredients together until well mixed.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup of brown sugar, and ¾ cup of granulated sugar on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix on low speed just until combined.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined; do not overmix.

Gently fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips using a spatula.

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are soft.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
