Step 1

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer), beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes

Step 4

Add the eggs and beat until blended. Add the vanilla and beat until blended.

Step 5

Turn the mixer off and add the flour mixture to the bowl. Mix on medium just until the flour is mixed in, then turn the mixer to high speed for a few seconds to pull the dough together; it will be chunky.

Step 6

Add the chocolate chips and beat on high for about 5 seconds to thoroughly and quickly mix in the chips.

Step 7

Drop by large spoonfuls on the lined baking sheet; don't flatten them. Bake until lightly browned on top, 10 to 11 minutes. Cool on the pan on a rack tor 1 minute, then transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
