Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Beat softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, ~2 minutes.
Step 3
Add egg and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined, ~1 minute.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Add dry mixture to wet ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Scoop dough into 1.5-inch balls. Space 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.
Step 8
Bake until golden brown at edges but centers still look slightly underbaked, 10–12 minutes.
Step 9
Remove from oven. Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes—they will firm up as they cool.
Step 10
Transfer cookies to a wire rack. Cool completely before serving.
