  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.

  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  4. Add egg and vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla until combined.
  5. Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Add chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Chill dough: Chill the dough if needed.
  8. Scoop and bake: Drop dough onto baking sheets and bake until lightly browned.
  9. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on wire racks before serving.

Notes

  • For a more cookie-heavy texture, use 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips.
  • Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading during baking.
