Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Stir in the chocolate chunks.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown around the edges.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
