½ teaspoon baking soda

HERE IS HOW YOU DO IT :
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line two cookie sheet pans with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until smooth; add both sugars until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Then add egg, extract and food dye, until incorporated. Slowly, add the flour mixture into the butter mixture until a sticky dough is formed.
Fold in chocolate chips. Drop a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough on to the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies for approximately 12 -14 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow cookies to set on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before removing to a flat surface or wire rack until cool.
