Ingredients
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (170g) salted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (110g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips
Instructions
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into 1½-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them.
- Chill the dough before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
- You can substitute the butter for unsalted butter, adding a pinch of salt to balance.
- Feel free to experiment with dark chocolate chips, nuts, or gluten-free flour.
