Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined and creamy.
  4. Gradually add flour, baking soda, and salt to wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
  6. Spoon out balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for edges to be golden and centers slightly underbaked.
  8. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid overbaking to maintain the soft and gooey texture. Cool butter before mixing in eggs to prevent cooking them. You can freeze cookie dough for later baking.
