Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and set aside.
Using a large bowl with a hand held mixer or standing mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2-3 minutes.
Mix in vanilla and water, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Then, add the egg and mix until combined.
Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Do not overmix once the flour has been added.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop 1 to 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2-3 inches apart as they cookies will spread quite a bit while baking.
Bake one sheet at a time for 11-13 minutes, or until the cookies are nicely browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheet about 5 minutes. Once they start to firm up, move to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Once cool, enjoy!
