Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in the chocolate chips so they're evenly distributed throughout.
- Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a large football shape about 12 inches long.
- Bake: Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
