- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, and 1 tsp of salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together ¾ cup of softened unsalted butter, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and ¾ cup of brown sugar for about 3-5 minutes.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips and any optional ingredients.
- Drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Notes
Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will enhance flavor and texture. Stick to uniform sizes for even baking.
