Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing just until a cohesive dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Roll the dough into large balls and evenly place them in a 9-inch baking pan. You should get about 7 or 8 large balls. For optimal texture, chill the dough for 15-30 minutes (optional but recommended).
Bake until the edges are set, and the center appears slightly underbaked, about 18-25 minutes depending on thickness. Avoid overbaking. Allow to cool slightly, then scoop and serve warm with ice cream.

Notes

For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them for a softer center.
Feel free to mix in nuts or use different types of chocolate chips based on your preference.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
