- 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.
