Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.

Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
