Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup nut-free chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and continue to mix until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the nut-free chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
