Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk thoroughly and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add a room temperature egg and mix until fully incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet batter, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. If the dough is too sticky, cover it and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
  7. Drop rounded portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-7 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
