Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C. Set out cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, using a stand or electric hand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until well mixed. Scrape down bowl as needed.
To the bowl add the flour, salt and baking soda. Beat until well mixed. Fold in chocolate chips.
Using a spoon or scoop, drop by teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet 2-inches apart.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes until cookies are lightly browned on top. Remove cookies immediately to wire rack to cool.
