If you live at high altitude see baking notes below for adjustments!
Preheat oven to 375°F and line an 13x18 sheet pan with edges/ baking tray with parchment paper.
In a mixer or with a hand mixer and the paddle attachment mix together the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. (1 cup butter, ¾ cup white sugar, 1 ½ cups brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla)
Add in each egg, on at a time. Mix in each egg completely before adding the next. The mixture should get lighter in color and thicker.
In a small bowl mix together the flour, salt, and baking soda. (2 ¼ cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda)
Add flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on medium high until fully incorporated.
Stir in by hand the chocolate chips. (1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips)
Pour batter into the prepared sheet tray and smooth out until it is evenly dispersed.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. You want the edges to be a little golden.
Allow to cool and enjoy!

*For high altitude adjustments: decrease white sugar to ⅔ cup, decrease brown sugar to 1 cup, increase flour to 2 ½ cups.
If using a smaller baking dish for thicker bars you will need to bake a little longer.
