Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until fully combined, about 1 minute.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually integrate into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each scoop about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers remain soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
