Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, using a heart-shaped cookie cutter if desired. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
Allow cookies to cool on wire racks before serving.
