Ingredients
Scale
8 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1/2 cup white sugar (raw cane sugar preferred)
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (about 6.75 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch more for flavor
3/4 cup chocolate chips (a mix of chips and chunks)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter and both sugars until creamy. Stir in the vanilla and egg until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chunks evenly.
- Roll the dough into 12 balls for standard cookies or 9 for larger ones, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until the cookies are barely golden and still puffy. Do not overbake.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure accurate measurement of flour using the spoon-and-level method or a kitchen scale to avoid dry cookies.
- Customize the chocolate by mixing different types like semi-sweet, dark, or white chocolate.
- For chewier cookies, adjust the sugar ratios as suggested, and avoid overbaking.
