Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Drop rounded portions of dough onto the lined baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown around the edges but soft in the center.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.

Serve with a glass of cold milk or your favorite non-dairy alternative.
