Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer cream together the unsalted butter, granulated white sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer.
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the pure vanilla extract or vanilla paste until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may still look slightly underdone, but they will continue to set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve.
