Preheat oven to 350º. Line two cookie sheets with parchment.
In a large bowl, cream the cold butter and sugars with an electric mixer (if using a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment).
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix till combined.
Add vanilla extract, then the dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips
Divide the dough into 12 equal parts. Roll into balls and freeze for 10 minutes.
Place 6 dough balls on each cookie sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the edges are golden. You can also make smaller cookies using a ¼ cup cookie scoop. Bake those for 18-20 minutes.
Cool for about 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack.
