Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Roll the cookie dough into balls about 1-1.5 inches in diameter and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 8.5 to 10 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers appear slightly underdone.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
  10. Allow cookies to cool for at least 3-4 hours or overnight for best flavor development.
