Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the butter mixture.
Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate small bowl.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture gradually while stirring on low speed.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a silicone spatula.
Chill the dough briefly to allow flavors to meld and prevent excess spreading.
Scoop dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness for several days. Ensure butter is at room temperature before creaming for the best texture. Spoon and level your flour to avoid over-measuring.
