Preheat oven to 350°. Beat butter and sugars at
medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand
mixer until creamy. Add eggs and 1 1/2 tsp.
vanilla, beating until blended.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small
bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating
just until blended. Beat in morsels just until
combined. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment
paper-lined baking sheets.
Bake at 350° for 10 to 14 minutes or until desired
degree of doneness. Remove to wire racks, and cool
completely (about 15 minutes).
