Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the Wet Ingredients:

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

5. Fold in the Chocolate Chips:

Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

6. Shape and Bake:

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.

7. Cool and Enjoy:

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Or, if you're impatient like me, sneak one while it's warm and gooey!
