Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the flour, baking soda, and sea salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

In a stand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, beating until blended.

Add the flour mixture and mix on medium speed just until combined, then increase to high speed for a few seconds.

Add the chocolate chips and mix on high speed until thoroughly combined.

Drop the dough by large spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes until lightly browned on top. Let cool on the pan for 1 minute before transferring to a rack.
