Preparation

Step 1

Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour, salt and baking powder in a small bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter and both sugars in a large bowl until well combined, 2-3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat on medium-high speed until mixture is light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add dry ingredients, reduce speed to low and mix just to blend. Fold in chocolate chips.

Spoon heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 1 1/2" apart. Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until edges are golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and let cool.
