Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until well blended.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
