Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until smooth.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the butter-sugar blend, beating until fully blended in.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between them.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers still look a bit soft.
  2. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
