How to make the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture. This will take about 2 minutes. 

3. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

4. Add in the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until a soft but not sticky dough forms.

5. Fold in your favorite chocolate chips.

6. Scoop the dough out into 1 1/2 tbsp portions and arrange on your cookie sheet. Can use parchment paper, a silicone mat or an ungreased cookie sheet.

7. Bake at 350° F for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies have spread and are just beginning to turn golden brown on the edges.

8. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
