Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place an oven rack in the center.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup softened butter, ¾ cup brown sugar, and ¼ cup granulated sugar for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently until just a few streaks of flour remain.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
