Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup favorite chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • Add in the flour, soda and salt. Mix until a soft but not sticky dough forms.
  • Fold in your favorite chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the dough out into 1 1/2 tbsp portions (a #40 cookie scoop works great here) and arrange on your cookie sheet. Can use parchment paper, a silicone mat or an uncreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350° F for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies have spread and are just beginning to turn golden brown on the edges.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
