Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar (or dark brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or see notes)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter a little bit, for about 30 - 40 seconds in the microwave. It won’t be completely melted but will have some liquid.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter with granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  • Add in the vanilla and the egg. Continue mixing on low speed until just combined. Don’t over-mix.
  • Then add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the dough forms.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll into balls with your hands. Place the dough balls on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake in two batches if necessary.
  • Bake for 9 - 11 minutes until the cookies are just barely golden. Don’t overbake or they won’t be soft.
  • Let them cool on the pan for 2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.

Notes

    • You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, white chocolate chips, M&M’s, Reese’s pieces chips, pecans, walnuts, or your favorite cookie ingredient.
    • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
