Preheat the oven to 375° F (190°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy.
1 cup (222g) salted butter, softened, 3/4 cup (173g) granulated sugar, 3/4 cup (185g) brown sugar
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, mixing well.
2 tsp vanilla extract, 2 eggs
Add the flour, baking soda and salt to the bowl and mix until a very sticky dough forms.
2 1/4 cups (342g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
2 cups (400g) ghirardelli chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)
Scoop out 1 1/2 tbsp of dough (#40 scoop) and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake at 375° F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until the eggs of the cookies have spread and are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
