Makes 12 – 14 cookies
5 tablespoons (2.5 ounces, or 71g) unsalted butter
1 cup (5 ounces) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup packed (3½ ounces) light brown sugar
¼ cup (1¾ ounces) granulated sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat the oven to 350° with the rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.
2. Melt the butter and set it aside to cool a bit while you prepare the other ingredients.
3. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl.
4. Whisk the light brown sugar and granulated sugar together in a medium bowl.
5. Pour the melted butter into the sugar and stir until it’s well combined.
6. Add the egg and vanilla and stir until combined.
7. Use a spatula to gently blend the flour mixture into the sugar mixture.
8. Fold the chocolate chips into the dough.
9. Using about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie, roll the dough into 12 or so balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
10. Bake for 7 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake for another 7 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft and puffy.
11. Cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet before removing. Enjoy the cookies warm or at room temperature!
