No-Fail Chocolate Chip Cookies

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups butter, softened

1 ¼ cups white sugar

1 ½ cups packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 (24 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the butter with white sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is well combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and stir in vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture, about 1 cup at a time, then mix in the chocolate chips. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoon onto baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheets before removing cookies to finish cooling.
