Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 7 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:
Use melted butter at room temperature for quicker mixing and a tender cookie texture.
Do not overbake; cookies continue to set as they cool for a soft, chewy center.
