½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

- Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.

- Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker, chewier cookies.
Use dark, milk, or mixed chocolate chips for flavor variation.
Substitute half the flour with whole wheat for a healthier option.
Store cookies with a slice of bread to maintain softness.
Freeze dough balls for up to 3 months for easy future baking.
