Ingredients

Scale

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 large egg (room temperature)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, melt the butter until warm. Add granulated and brown sugars, mixing until creamy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop dough onto prepared sheets, spacing about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked.
Let cool on sheets before transferring.
