In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar for about 30 seconds. Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk until fully incorporated.
¾ cup salted butter, ½ cup white sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 egg, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and fold just until all the flour is incorporated. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Scoop all the cookie dough out, about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie onto a prepared baking sheet. Cover the baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
After the dough has chilled, arrange the scoops on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Leave at least 2 inches between each cookie for spreading room.
Bake the pans of cookies one at a time in the preheated oven for 10-14 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and the tops are no longer wet. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Bake the remaining cookies. Enjoy!

You could use unsalted butter with an additional ⅜ teaspoon of salt added.
You can use whatever kind of chocolate you prefer. Semisweet, milk, dark, bittersweet, or even white chocolate.
