Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the baking soda and salt, stirring to incorporate.
Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until a dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming a single cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
