Equipment

  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter 1 stick softened
  • ¼ cup Sugar Granulated
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar packed
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 Egg large
  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup Chocolate Chips Semisweet

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  • Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Portion the Dough: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop 8-10 evenly sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
  • Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone but will set as they cool.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
