Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark, according to preference)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, stirring 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 a soft dough forms.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
