Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (dark or golden)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips (or semi-sweet)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Incorporate the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing just until a dough is formed. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough into large balls and place them evenly in a 9-inch baking pan, aiming for about 7 or 8 large balls.
- For best texture, chill the dough for 15–30 minutes (optional).
- Bake the cookies until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked, about 18–25 minutes depending on thickness. Avoid overbaking.
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly before scooping them out and serving warm, preferably with ice cream.
Notes
Letting the dough chill can enhance the texture of the cookies.
Ensure not to overbake for a chewy inside.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
