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: Set your oven to 350°F.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In the bowl of a stand mixer or using an electric hand mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add Egg and Vanilla: Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms, ensuring the ingredients are well incorporated.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in your favorite chocolate chips.
Scoop and Arrange: Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon portions (a #40 cookie scoop works great) and place them on your prepared cookie sheet. You can use parchment paper, a silicone baking mat, or an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges just begin to turn golden brown, leaving the centers soft.
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
