Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Mixing

  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
  2. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft.
  3. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them. For extra flavor, sprinkle a little sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.
