- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

- Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
