Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until everything is well combined.
Stir in chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
