Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, 2–3 minutes.

Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined, about 1 minute.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together.
Step 5
Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Cover dough and refrigerate for 15 minutes (don't skip—this is key).
