For the Cookies
  • 1 cup Salted Butter Can substitute with unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt.

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Swapping with gluten-free flour will alter texture.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened salted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the large egg and vanilla extract; blend on low speed until combined.
  4. Gradually sift in all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Scoop dough using a 1.5-tablespoon measure and drop mounds onto prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden around the edges and puffy in the center.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
