The World’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Cook Time: 12 mins
- Total Time: 12 mins
- Yield: 20 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 tbsp butter (1 stick), salted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed light
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Microwave butter for about 30 seconds so it’s barely melted. If needed, microwave for an additional 10 seconds. Butter should be liquified but not sizzling.
- Beat the butter with the sugars until creamy, using a stand mixer or hand-held beaters on medium speed for 2 minutes. It should look like caramel. Add vanilla and egg, then beat again on low speed for about 10 seconds.
- Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix only a couple of rotations until crumbles form, about 30 seconds. Add chocolate chips and use your hands to knead them into the cookie dough.
- Roll dough into 20 medium sized balls about 2 inches across and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12 minutes until the cookies look puffy and just barely golden. They will sink a little as they cool but stay soft and delicious.
