Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the room-temperature butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, mixing in vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just incorporated.
