Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

Cream softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract; mix well.

Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.

Gently fold in chocolate chips, nuts, and sprinkles if using.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets spaced two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.

Allow cooling slightly before enjoying.
