Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them two inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges but soft in the center.
