In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugars on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until fully combined—don’t overmix.
Stir in chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly spread throughout the dough.
Roll dough into 1-inch thick ropes, about 6–8 inches long. Twist into spirals and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently flatten if desired.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges turn golden brown and centers stay soft.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or let cool completely before storing.
