Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer, combine butter and sugars, mixing until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes).
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until just combined (do not over-mix!).
Mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Toss in the chocolate and mix until just combined.
Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to make 1.5-2 tbsp sized balls and place them on the baking sheet around 3-4 inches apart.
Bake the cookies (one sheet at a time for even baking) for 8-11 minutes. Remove them from the oven when the edges look set. They will look under-baked in the middle! Remove from the oven and leave them on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

Measuring Flour: Properly measuring flour is crucial for making cookies and I always reommend gram measurements.

Storage and Freezing: Store the cookies in an airtight container or ziploc bag at room temperature for 5-6 days.

The baked cookies can be frozen in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature when you're ready to eat them.

The dough can be scooped and frozen for up to 2 months in an airtight freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature for a little while before baking or bake directly from frozen and add a couple minutes to the baking time.
