Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in the salt, vanilla, and eggs until well combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture; mix until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake until cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the center, 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 2 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.

For extra chewy cookies, slightly underbake and let them finish on the tray. You can also freeze dough balls to bake fresh cookies anytime!
