In a large bowl, cream together 10 tablespoons of softened butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 3/4 cup of powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the 12-ounce package of semisweet chocolate chips.
Chill the cookie dough for at least 1 hour before baking.
Preheat your oven to 330°F (165°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop the chilled dough into 18 large or 36 small balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes for large cookies or 10-12 minutes for medium cookies. They should be golden brown on the edges and slightly soft in the center.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
