Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tougher cookies.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden, and the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to cook slightly on the baking sheet once removed from the oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To maintain soft cookies, avoid overbaking them and pull them out while the centers are still soft.
If you want to switch up the flavor, try using a mix of different chocolate chips or add some chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months and reheat in the microwave to bring back their softness.
