Camille's Chocolate Chip Cookies

3/4 c. butter
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1 egg
3/4 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 c. flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. chocolate chips

Directions:
Beat butter in mixer for 1 - 2 minutes until fluffy, and then add sugars. Continue beating for several minutes.
While whipping sugar and butter, combine dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda) in a separate bowl. Mix well.
Add egg and vanilla to butter/sugar mixture and fully incorporate.
Slowly add dry mixture to butter/sugar/egg mixture. Incorporate.
Add chocolate chips to mixture. (I actually like to beat the chips for a second in the mixer; it breaks some of the chips up so there are tiny pieces of chocolate throughout the cookie.)
Scoop heaping spoonfuls of batter and drop onto ungreased cookie sheet. (I usually bake about 9 per sheet.)
Bake at 375 degrees for 9 - 11 minutes.
Take them out the second they start turning brown. Whack cookie sheet several times on top of oven. Cookies will look a bit underdone, but leave them on the tray for 5 - 10 additional minutes to finish the cooking process. Remove to a cooling rack once the bottoms are solid.
