Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup granulated sugar
0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
0.5 tsp baking soda
0.75 tsp salt
1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk the flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl until fully combined.
Combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat vigorously until the sugars dissolve into the butter.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture until well incorporated.
Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips until the dough is uniform.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced two inches apart.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure the melted butter is cooled slightly before mixing to prevent scrambling the egg. For best results, use pure vanilla extract. Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain the crisp texture.
