ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large cold egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Step 2

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cold butter, brown sugar, and sugar until smooth and creamy.

  • Step 3

    Add the cold egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

  • Step 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt.

  • Step 5

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; this will help ensure a chewy texture.

  • Step 6

    Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

  • Step 7

    Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie.

  • Step 8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.

  • Step 9

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
