Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
