Equipment
- Stand Mixer
- Large Bowl
- Measuring Cups
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper
- Wire cooling rack
Ingredients
- All-purpose Flour 2 ½ Cups
- Baking Soda 1 Tsp
- Sea Salt ½ Tsp
- Salted Butter Room Temperature 1 Cup
- Light Brown Sugar 2 Cups
- Large Egg 1
- Vanilla Extract 1 ½ Tsp
- Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips 1 ½ Cups
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line your pans with parchment paper. This prevents sticking later.
- Put the butter and sugar in a mixer. Beat them until they are fluffy. This takes about three minutes.
- Add the egg to the mixture. Pour in the vanilla extract now. Mix well until everything is smooth.
- Whisk the flour and baking soda together. Slowly add them to the wet ingredients. Do not overmix the dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips by hand. Ensure they are spread out evenly. Use a big wooden spoon.
- Scoop the dough into small balls. Place them on the baking sheet. Space them two inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for ten minutes. They should look slightly golden. Do not overbake them.
- Let them cool on the pan. Move them to a rack later. This keeps them soft inside.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for easy mixing.
- Do not overmix the flour into dough.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for better taste.
- Measure your flour with a spoon gently.
- Chill the dough for even thicker cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop for equal sizes.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top after baking.
- Make sure your baking soda is fresh.
