Description
Delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies with a soft center and slightly crispy edges.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (one package)
- flaky sea salt for the tops (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium to large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugars.
- Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
- In a medium to small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Then stir this in with the wet ingredients until a dough ball forms.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Divide into six balls (a little over 4 ounces each) and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat.
- Sprinkle on a little flaky sea salt to the tops if using.
- With your oven rack positioned in the upper 1/3 of the oven, bake at 350°F for 16-17 minutes.
- The edges should just be beginning to brown, but the centers will still be very soft.
- Once you remove from the oven, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 6-8 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature butter.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
