Chocolate Chip Cookies

This Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is a one bowl chocolate chip cookie recipe that makes soft chocolate chip cookies in less than 20 minutes- no mixer necessary, no chilling needed.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour properly measured
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds.
   Butter should be completely melted but shouldn't be hot.
3. In a large bowl, mix butter with the sugars until well-combined.
4. Stir in vanilla and egg until incorporated.
5. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt.
6. Mix dough until just combined.
   Dough should be soft and a little sticky but not overly sticky.
7. Stir in chocolate chips.
8. Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough (medium cookie scoop)
   and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
9. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until cookies are set.
   They will be puffy and still look a little underbaked in the middle.

Flour: Be sure to fluff and then scoop and sweep to measure the flour. Too much flour will result in a dry or crumbly cookie.
Salt: Or 1/4 teaspoon table salt.
Baking: Don't over-bake the cookies, or you won't end up with soft cookies.
