Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips into the batter.
  7. Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centers are slightly soft.
