Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two light colored baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
To make the dough start by creaming butter and sugars together. Add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix until light and fluffy. To that add in the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Mix in the chocolate chips by hand.
Scoop onto prepared baking sheets and bake 12-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are puffed but still slightly soft-looking. Cool 3 minutes on baking sheets before transferring to cooling racks. Serve warm or at room temperature.
