-In 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 overmix.
-Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips, and blend at low speed until just mixed.  Do not overmix.
