Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. If desired, chill the dough for about 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  8. Scoop portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges are golden and the centers are soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
