Preheat the oven to 375 and lightly grease 2 baking sheets with butter.
Using a wooden spoon, or stand mixer if you have one, beat together the butter and sugars until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla and continue to mix for 2 minutes.
Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until dough pulls together. Once dough is smooth fold in the chocolate chips. It should be SLAMMED with chocolate!
Take your time to create round 2 TBSP balls of cookie dough and place on the baking sheet. Try to squeeze 12 on each sheet. Place sheets in the freezer for minimum 10 minutes and up to half an hour. This is a game-changing step that can't be skipped!
Bake each sheet one at a time for 13-14 minutes. The bottoms should look nicely done while the tops still look quite raw. Don't worry, this is what you want. Trust me.
Let cookies cool on the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack so the bottoms have a chance to cool and get crispy.
Pour a glass of milk, find somewhere in your home where you can sit in total silence and dummy these cookies. They are addictive, so be careful!
