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 creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and pure vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy with your favorite drink!
