Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl, add the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream the ingredients together for 1 minute on medium speed.
Add the eggs and vanilla to the bowl and mix again until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the butter mixture and mix again. Do not overmix at this point. You just want to flour to be incorporated.
Add the chocolate chips to the batter and mix until fully combined. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to avoid the batter from spreading too much.
With an ice scream scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. I found the perfect size amount of dough is tablespoon-sized balls.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven, bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are just slightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.
