Tiff's Chocolate chip Cookies

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

melt butter in a mixing bowl. Add brown sugar, sugar, vanilla and egg. Stir until blended well. Add flour- do not stir. Add salt and baking soda on top of flour. Stir salt and baking soda into flour gently. Then stir flour mixture into wet ingredients. Add chocolate chips. Bake 10-15 minutes at 375*. When done drop pan onto stove top, this flattens the cookies, but still keeps them chewy!
