Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat just until blended. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir dry ingredients with chocolate chips into batter. Place the dough in the refrigerator and allow to rest for at least 1 hour.
Step 3
Using an ice cream scoop, place portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, 1-inch apart. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookie edges are golden brown and centers are a bit soft. Do not over bake.
Step 4
Cool and store cookies in an airtight container.
