Ingredients
- 1 stick butter, softened 113 g
- 3/4 cup tightly packed brown sugar (I like using 1/2 cup light brown and 1/4 cup dark brown, but you can use either or) 150 g total
- 1/4 cup white sugar 50 g
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour 220 g
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- flaky salt for topping, optional
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or a handheld mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for 5 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Once five minutes is over, add in egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix until combined. Add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture on low speed, and mix until just combined.
- Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix in chocolate chips or chunks until just combined. Place bowl of dough in fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill.
- While dough is chilling, heat oven to 180 C (350F). Portion dough out into heaped 1 tbsp-2 tablespoon sized dough pieces on parchment paper lined baking sheets. Bake for 11-12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges but still soft in the center. Cool until cookies firm up, then enjoy, still warm.
