Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer for best results.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone, but they will set as the cookies cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
Serve the cookies warm with a glass of milk, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
