Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until just combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until no dry flour remains to keep cookies tender.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
  7. Roll the dough into 1 to 1.5-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet with space in between.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8.5 to 9.5 minutes until edges are slightly golden.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
