Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2.67 tablespoons butter at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon egg well beaten (beat an egg, then measure out 1 tablespoon)
  • 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 0.2 teaspoon baking soda scant
  • 0.125 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugars using a fork. A 2-cup glass measuring cup is perfect for this.
  3. Break the egg in a small bowl and whisk it well with a fork. Measure out the needed amount of egg and add it to the butter mixture. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and stir well to combine.
  5. Then add the chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.
  6. Spoon onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a baking mat. Plan on 6 to 8 cookies (I always end up with 7 when I use my cookie scoop).
  7. Bake at 375 for 8-11 minutes.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheet and enjoy!

Notes

I like to chill my dough because it reduces the spread of the cookie. Chilled dough produces thicker cookies. I recommend chilling the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes to help with the spreading factor. This recipe is perfect for those times you need a good cookie but don't need a whole batch!
