Preparation

Step 1

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitter with the paddle attachment, beat butter, salt, and vanilla until fluffy. Add both sugars; beat until lightened in color, 4 minutes. Beat in the egg.

2. Add the baking soda and flour; beat on low speed until just incorporated. Mix in the chocolate. Transfer bowl to refrigerator, chill dough 1 hour.

3. Heat oven to 400°. Line three baking sheets with parchment, and set aside.

4. Roll 1/4 cup dough into a ball, and place on a baking sheet. Repeat, placing a total of four balls on each sheet. Chill 20 minutes.

5. Transfer two baking sheets to oven, and bake 7 minutes. Roate pans, and continue baking until just brown around edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks; cool 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks, and cool completely.

6. Bake remaining cookies, and cool.
