Ingredients

3/4 cup salted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 egg

1 tbsp vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup favorite chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture.

Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Add in the flour, soda and salt. Mix until a soft but not sticky dough forms.

Fold in your favorite chocolate chips.

Scoop the dough out into 1 1/2 tbsp portions (a #40 cookie scoop works great here) and arrange on your cookie sheet. Can use parchment paper, a silicone mat or an uncreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350° F for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies have spread and are just beginning to turn golden brown on the edges.

Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
