Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, stir together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the batter just until blended, then mix in the chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed. Drop cookies by heaping teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to turn golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:
- Use bread flour: Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which helps to create a chewier cookie.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to develop the flavor and makes the cookies less likely to spread.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature helps to create a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake just until the edges are golden brown.
Conclusion:
These high-altitude chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion, whether you're enjoying them with a glass of milk or sharing them with friends. With their chewy texture, crispy edges, and gooey chocolate chips, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
