Preheat your oven to 375°F

Melt the butter until it is fluid

In your stand mixer, use the paddle attachment and whip the butter, salt, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla together.

To the stand mixer bowl, add the brown sugar, cane sugar, and then the flour. This is where your dough will become the stiffest. Be sure to pay attention to how your mixer is doing at this stage. It may be worth mixing the rest of the way by hand.

Once all the flour is combined, add the chocolate chips.

Once everything is incorporated well, chill the dough for a couple hours in the refrigerator. This makes it easier to roll them without sticking to your hands as as much

After the dough has chilled, use a spoon to scoop your chocolate chip cookie dough and roll into 1 & 1/2 inch balls with your hands.

Place the cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Although the parchment paper is optional, it will help the bottoms not to burn.
