Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the bowl, and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Dark Chocolate Chip and Vanilla Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot drink!
