Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Using a mixer, cream the butter and the sugars.

Add eggs, vanilla, salt, and the baking soda and combine.

Add flour 1 cup at a time, ending with the 1/3 cup. Do this slowly to prevent a flour bomb exploding in your kitchen.

Add the chocolate chips and slowly mix to incorporate.

Roll dough balls about the size of a golf ball. This should let you get about 12 on each baking sheet.

Bake for 9 minutes; they will seem a little under done.

Take trays out of the oven and set to cool for 5 minutes.

Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
