Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Let the cookies cool and harden before serving.

You should end up with 5 deliciously chewy cookies!

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Make sure to use room temperature butter for the fluffiest cookies.

Don’t overbake – the edges should be lightly golden brown.

If you want a crisper cookie, bake for 12-14 minutes. If you want a chewier cookie, bake for 8-10 minutes.

These cookies freeze well, so you can store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
