Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C/160 C Fan). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
Put the unsalted butter, sugar and salt into a large bowl and beat until creamy.
Beat in the vanilla and egg. Sift in the flour, and bicarbonate of soda. Fold the mixture together with a wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix it.
Add the chocolate chips or chunks and stir well to combine.
Scoop out 2 tablespoon amounts of cookie dough onto the baking tray. Space them apart a little - 6 on each tray is about right.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookie are light brown and still slightly soft in the middle.
Leave on the baking tray for 5 minutes to cool before moving them onto a cooling rack.
