Preheat oven to 300 degrees. (If you prefer crispy cookies, preheat to 350 degrees.) Spray baking sheets with non-stick baking spray or use parchment paper.

• In a small mixing bowl with a wire whisk, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large mixing bowl, with electric mixer set at medium speed, combine brown and white sugars until blended. Combine butter with sugars and mix well. Add eggs and vanilla; mix with electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
• Add flour and chocolate chips, a little at a time each, and mix well using a sturdy wooden spoon.
• Drop dough onto prepared baking sheets by teaspoonfuls, or use a cookie-dough scoop.

Bake these cookies long and slow: 20 minutes at 300 degrees. But watch the time as every oven is different. Don’t overcook; edges should brown but centers should be pale and soft as the cookie will darken after you remove from oven.
