Prepare two bowls: one for dry ingredients and one for butter.

Let 2 sticks of butter sit at room temperature and set aside.

In the dry ingredients bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix well and set aside.

In another bowl, combine 3/4 cup white granulated sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar.

Add the room temperature butter to the sugar mixture and mix until creamy.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture and continue mixing until creamy.

Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to avoid scrambled eggs in the dough.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the dough, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Fold in the chocolate chips gently to avoid breaking them.

Optionally, refrigerate the dough for later use or proceed to bake.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Scoop cookie dough onto a large cookie sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Bake in the oven for about 9 to 11 minutes, checking for doneness.
