Bittersweet Chocolate Chip Cookies

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
2. Combine butter and both sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix to combine. Add egg, and continue beating until well combined.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Stir in chocolate.
4. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough and place on a prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough placing scoops 3 inches apart. Bake until just brown around the edges, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating the pans between oven shelves halfway through baking.
5. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before removing cookies from the baking sheets. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
