Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, beat 3/4 cup softened unsalted butter with 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar using a hand mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 large egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Step 4: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  6. Step 6: Fold in 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Step 7: Using a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
  9. Step 9: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
