Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
Mix butter with brown sugar in a different bowl. Add vanilla and eggs and mix until smooth and fluffy.
Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix to combine. Then add chocolate chips.
Drop onto greased cookie sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. The tops might still look doughy but they will cook as they sit on the cookie sheet. Let sit on cookie sheets for 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack and let cool.
Notes
Substitutions
Sprinkles – Sometimes I add 1 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of sprinkles to add some color!
Nuts – Substitute half of the chocolate chips with chopped nuts like peanuts, walnuts, almonds, or cashews.
Baking bits – Check out the baking aisle for different baking bits to add to your cookies.
Candy – M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, chopped peanut butter cups or other chopped candy bars are great, too.
