Ingredients
Scale
- 115g unsalted butter, softened
- 150g granulated sugar
- 100g light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 170g semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, ensure your butter is truly softened, not melted.
Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added; this can lead to tough cookies.
Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes can help prevent spreading and deepen the flavor.
Use good quality chocolate chips for a superior taste and melt.
