The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Servings: 18 cookies

Ingredients

  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars together until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
  • Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix slowly. Add chocolate chips and mix until combined.
  • Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets in balls of about 2 tablespoons. Make sure to keep at least 2 inches between each dough ball, with 12 cookies on one baking sheet and 6 cookies on the other.
  • Bake cookies in a preheated oven for 13 minutes or until the edges are deep brown and the tops are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before eating.
