Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 50 grams chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) to evenly distribute them in the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
