Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer for best results.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone, but they will set as the cookies cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cookies warm with a glass of milk, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
