- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2½ cups of all-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon of baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon of salt.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of softened unsalted butter with ¾ cup of light brown sugar and ½ cup of granulated sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until well blended.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined, then stir in 1½ cups of semisweet chocolate chips.
- Using a 1½-tablespoon scoop, form dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until golden brown, baking one sheet at a time for even cooking.
- Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
For thicker cookies, chill the dough for about an hour before baking. Optionally, sprinkle sea salt on top before serving.
