Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 210 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, melt the butter until just softened but not completely liquid. Let it cool slightly.
Using a wooden spoon, stir the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, stirring until it is creamy and fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring with the wooden spoon until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips with the wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons 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 golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will continue to firm up as they cool).
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
