Add in the 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Continue to beat until the eggs are blended.
Add in the 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour,1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat until the flour is incorporated and a cookie dough has formed.
Divide the cookie dough evenly into bowls.

Using a 1 1/2 cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet leaving 1 1/2 to 2 inches between each cookie.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack or paper towel to cool completely.
