Preheat oven to 375 degrees on the convection setting or 400 degrees in a regular oven.
In a small bowl, scramble the eggs with a fork. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together partially melted butter, vanilla, sugars, and eggs. Set aside.
In another large bowl, gently stir the flour, salt, and baking soda together to mix.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips and combine.
Make dough balls with a scoop. Put them close together on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate them for 1 hour (or even overnight) until firm.
Transfer the chilled dough balls to another lined baking sheet spaced a couple inches apart and bake for about 10-13 minutes.
Keep an eye on them so they do not overbake. They should be lightly golden brown with a gooey center.
When the cookies come out of the oven, bang the sheet pan on a countertop several times to keep the cookies from rising too high.
Cool the cookies on a wire rack.
Sprinkle a tiny bit of flaked salt on the warm cookies.
Enjoy!
