Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups (281g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (6g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.
  5. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
