Equipment
- mixing bowl
- oven
- baking sheet
- hand mixer
- whisk
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- spatula
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon to cream the softened butter with both the granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and pale yellow, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until they are fully incorporated and the mixture looks uniform.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir just until no streaks of flour remain. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before using a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
