Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar using a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Step 2: Beat in 1 large egg and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
Step 3: In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt.
Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Step 5: Fold in 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Step 6: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Step 7: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
Step 8: Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
