Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, mixing until well combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently to avoid breaking them.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping them into hearts.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
