Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar with an electric mixer until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg, then beat until combined.
Step 3: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
Step 4: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop 1.5-tablespoon portions of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
