Instructions:

First, in a bowl, place the butter, sugar, and egg. Mix very well until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous texture.

Next, add the sifted all-purpose flour along with the salt and baking powder. Mix again until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

After that, add the vanilla extract and mix well. Then, add the chocolate chips and gently stir to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.

Then, shape the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C) and bake for approximately 15 to 25 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.

Finally, remove the cookies from the oven, let them cool slightly, and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. And that’s it—enjoy these delicious American cookies!
