In a large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Using a mixer with a flat beater attachment, mix for 30 seconds. Stop and scrape the bowl to ensure even mixing.

Beat for another 30 seconds to fully combine ingredients.

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

Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, stirring for about 2 minutes until well incorporated.

Add the semisweet chocolate chips and stir or beat for 15 seconds to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.

Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto a greased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
