- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Notes
For best results, use room temperature butter.
You can substitute semisweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate chips according to your preference.
To prevent spreading, chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking.
