Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cream the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
-
Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between them.
-
For extra-soft cookies, chill the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking.
-
Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
-
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
-
Avoid overbaking. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
