- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Scrape the sides of the bowl, then add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft but not sticky dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough into 1 ½ tablespoon portions (a #40 cookie scoop works well) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, a silicone mat, or an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies have spread and the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
