Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 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 semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape and bake: Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a large round cookie about 8–10 inches wide. Flatten slightly with your hands or a spatula. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
- Cool and serve: Let the cookie cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before slicing or serving warm.
Notes
- For a bakery-style touch, press a few extra chocolate chips into the top before baking.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
