• Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease cookie sheets or line with Silpat.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until fluffy.

Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix to combine. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork.

Baked for 12 to 15 minutes.
