Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 unit large egg
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semisweet or your choice)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and creamy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to combine evenly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing slowly until fully incorporated. Avoid over-mixing to maintain a soft dough consistency.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
If you want to bake cookies, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), scoop the dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls, and place them two inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
If enjoying as raw cookie dough, ensure you used heat-treated flour and omit the egg. Simply refrigerate until chilled and enjoy!
Store leftover dough or baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
