Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  4. Mix in the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish evenly.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Let cool in the pan before slicing.

Notes

For the best results, ensure the butter is truly softened, mix until just combined, and cool fully before slicing to achieve clean squares.
