Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the creamed mixture, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may look slightly underdone but will firm up as the cookies cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your easy homemade cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
