How to Make Mock Levain Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Scoop large spoonfuls of dough (about 1/4 cup each) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set (slightly underbaked for a gooier center).
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
