 Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

Ingredients:

 

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract  

1 large egg

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.  

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.  

Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

 

For extra chewy cookies, use cold butter.

If you want softer cookies, bake them for a shorter amount of time.

You can add other mix-ins to your cookies, such as nuts, raisins, or peanut butter chips.

Enjoy!
