Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda and salt.

Add butter, eggs and vanilla, and stir until well combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.

To bake, divide into individual cookies by dropping rounded tablespoon-full mounds onto an ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheet.

To make the “big cookies”, divide the dough onto 2 cookie sheets, and spread the dough into 2 large cookie shapes, each about 12 inches in diameter and just over ¼ inch thick.

Bake individual cookies for 9-11 minutes, and the “big cookies” for 11-13 minutes.

Alternately, you can make cookie bars by pressing the dough into a 9 x 13 in. baking dish and baking for 30 minutes.
