Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing!
- Fold in the chocolate chips (or your chosen mix-ins). The dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will look slightly underbaked—this is perfect!
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
For thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Slightly underbaked centers ensure chewy cookies. Customize with mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit.
