Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed light brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until they are thoroughly combined with the sugar and butter mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps to distribute the leavening agent and salt evenly throughout the dough.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed with the electric mixer until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a rubber spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still appear soft. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.

Let the baked cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and prevents them from breaking.
