Cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth
Add the eggs and beat to combine
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined
Reserve a few chocolate chips for topping, then fold the rest into the cookie dough batter.
Cover and chill the cookie dough for at least 1 hour in the fridge
Once chilled, roll the dough into ball shapes and place on a baking sheet. Add additional chocolate chips to the tops and press them down.
Bake the chocolate chip cookies at 350 degrees for 10-13 minutes, until lightly browned on the edges. Do not over bake! Allow to cool 2 minutes on the pan (they will keep cooking), then transfer to the cooling rack
Notes
We like Earth Balance for vegan butter, and Enjoy Life for chocolate chips. If you are making these for someone with a dairy allergy, be sure to buy chocolate chips that are marked allergy friendly without any dairy.
