Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of salted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (I use the chocolate chunks you can find in the bulk bin at any supermarket)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease (your preference)
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, white sugar and brown sugar with a hand mixer until creamy
- Add the egg and vanilla, beat on low speed for about 15 seconds or until it is just incorporated. The key here is not to over beat the egg or you will end up with stiff cookies
- Add the flour, baking soda and salt to the bowl, mix until crumbles form
- Using your hands, press the crumbles together to form a smooth ball of dough. If you find that its sticking to your hands, add some extra flour, a few tablespoons at a time
- Add the chocolate chips and mix them into the dough with your hands
- Form the dough into 12 even balls (they will be larger cookies), and place on baking sheet. Bake in over for about 9-12 minutes or until they are puffy, dry and just barley golden
- Remove the cookies from the over and let them cool completely
