Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups 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, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Mix in the sour cream, ensuring the batter is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing for softer cookies.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Using a medium-sized cookie scoop or a tablespoon, 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 just lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked—this is fine as they will set while cooling.
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 and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
