Instructions

1. Cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

5. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to help prevent spreading.

7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

8. Scoop dough into balls and place on the baking sheet.

9. Bake for 9–11 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers look just set.

10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, don’t skip the chilling step.

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.

Cookies can be frozen raw and baked straight from the freezer.
