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.
