Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, powdered sugar and salt with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (about 2 to 3 minutes). Add the vanilla and mix until fully combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour just until combined. Do not over mix.
Using a spatula, stir in the chocolate chips.
Shape into 1 inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until set. The cookies will still be pale. These cookies are not meant to turn golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then move to cool completely on wire racks.
Enjoy!
