Preheat your oven to 350° F.
Cream together the butter and both sugars until thoroughly combined.
Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
Add in the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Mix in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Break the dough into small, approx 2 tsp portions. You can roll the cookie dough into a ball or you can leave them as is after you break the dough into portions. I usually just break the dough and leave it.
Arrange on your baking sheet.
Bake at 350° F for 5-7 minutes, or until the cookie has spread, flattened and no longer looks wet and glossy in the center.
Allow the cookies to cool on the pan.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
