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

In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well-blended and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and 3/4 cup of white sugar until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until smooth.

Slowly fold in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined, forming a soft, slightly sticky dough.

Fold in 1 ½ cups of your favorite chocolate chips into the dough gently and ensure even distribution.

Scoop out equal portions of dough and place them on the baking tray, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers are slightly soft.

Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
