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

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

In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth.

Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating thoroughly before adding the vanilla extract until the batter is glossy.

Gradually fold in the flour mixture until no dry streaks remain in the dough.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Portion out large mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Press some extra chocolate chips on top if desired.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
