Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 50 grams chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) to evenly distribute them in the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
