Blue Ribbon Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 packed cup dark brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup salted butter, softened
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (I always use the large Milk Chocolate Chips)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt. Mix well with wire whisk. Set aside. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, blend sugars at medium speed. Add butter and mix to form a grainy paste, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and mix at medium speed until just blended. Do not over mix. Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips, and blend at low speed until just barely mixed. Do not over mix. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer cookies immediately to a cool surface with a spatula.
