Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter for about 30 seconds, or until just melted. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk together until smooth.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and large egg to the sugar mixture. Whisk again until combined.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 7
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Step 8
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers appear slightly underbaked. Ensure not to overbake for soft cookies.
Step 10
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Perfect with a glass of milk!
