Description
Delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies that are soft and chewy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened, but not melted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (divided into 3/4 cup and 1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
- With the mixer on a low speed, mix in the flour, baking soda and salt.
- Stir in 3/4 cup chocolate chips (you’ll save the remaining 1/4 cup for dotting on top of the cookies).
- Form the dough into balls with about 1 – 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough each. They’ll be in between the size of a ping pong ball and a golf ball. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the lined cookie sheets.
- Bake 1 sheet at a time in the preheated oven for about 9-11 minutes or until the tops look set. Note that when they’re done baking they won’t be quite as golden brown as other chocolate chip cookies, because they don’t have the brown sugar.
- Remove from the oven and place a few extra chocolate chips from the reserved 1/4 cup on top of each cookie. Cool on the cookie sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to continue cooling.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for great flavor.
