Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for about 15 seconds until just liquid but not hot.
Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Add the all-purpose flour and baking soda, stirring just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Shape the dough into a single round ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly into a cookie shape using your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center looks just set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookie cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before enjoying warm.
