Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Whisk the bread flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Cream the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until well combined and smooth.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Do not skip this step, as it helps to enhance the flavors and chewy texture of the cookies.

Shape and Bake: Scoop dough and place onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.  These cookies will spread, so ensure you have plenty of room for that.
