Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 and a half teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to get ready for the cookies.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups of flour, 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda, and just under 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set this aside for now.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Beat together the 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Keep going until the mixture is nice and fluffy.
- Eggs and Vanilla: Add egg to the butter and sugar mixture, then add 1 and a half teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix these in well.
- Combine Dry and Wet: Now, gradually mix your dry ingredients into the wet mix. Do this bit by bit, stirring just until everything is combined. You don't want to overmix.
- Add chocolate chips. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop the dough onto your prepared baking sheets. Use a glass to slightly flatten the dough or leave it as-is for high, mounded cookies.
- Bake: Bake in preheated oven for 10-13 minutes. For the softest cookies, remove when they appear slightly underbaked. They will cool to doneness. For golden edges, it might take a bit longer.
