These cookies are soft, gooey, and packed with chocolate chips, making them the ultimate treat for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures the cookies bake evenly from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Use room temperature butter for easier mixing.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Ensure the egg is fully mixed in for a smooth batter.
Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Reserve a few chips to place on top of the cookies for a professional look.
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using a cookie scoop ensures uniform sizes.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies when they look slightly underbaked for a softer texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the sheet helps them set without breaking.
Serve the cookies with your favorite beverage and enjoy!
Pair with milk or coffee for a classic treat.
