In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix. Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
