Cream together 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 1 cup brown sugar until well combined.

Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until well combined.

Sift together 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a mixer on low speed.

If the dough is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water to help it come together.

Fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Use a cookie scoop to drop dough onto a baking tray, leaving space between each cookie for expansion.

Gently press down on each cookie with the back of a fork.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes, checking for desired doneness.

Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
