Preheat the oven to 350° F.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture.
3/4 cup (167g) salted butter, softened , 1/2 cup (123g) brown sugar , 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
1 egg, 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Add in the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until a soft but not sticky dough forms.
2 cups (304g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda , 1/2 tsp salt
Fold in your favorite chocolate chips.
1 cup (200g) favorite chocolate chips
Scoop the dough out into 1 1/2 tbsp portions (a #40 cookie scoop works great here) and arrange on your cookie sheet. Can use parchment paper, a silicone mat or an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350° F for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies have spread and are just beginning to turn golden brown on the edges.
Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
