Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 piece Large eggs
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 280 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 250 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (347°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl until just melted, then let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and light brown sugar, ensuring any lumps are broken up.
Add the melted butter to the sugars and whisk until combined and smooth.
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture, whisking until fully incorporated and creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop out dough balls using a medium cookie scoop or 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Roll them gently into smooth balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly undercooked. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your soft chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or as is!
