Ingredients

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, softened

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and egg until combined.
• Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Scoop rounds of dough, about 1.5 tablespoons each, onto the prepared baking sheet spacing about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned on the edges. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

About Yummy Tips

• It’s best to use eggs at room temperature when adding them to the batter, for blending.
• Avoid overmixing the dough once you’ve combined the ingredients to prevent tough cookies.
• For gooey cookies bake them less than the recommended time.
• Experiment with different types of baking chips like peanut butter, mint or white chocolate!
