Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (113 g), softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar (50 g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips (130 g), semi-sweet or milk chocolate
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • Optional: ¼ cup oats (20 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and slightly fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract; stir well until fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture; stir gently just until combined.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips and any optional add-ins.
  8. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  11. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.

Notes

Do not overmix after adding flour to avoid tough cookies. Use room temperature butter and egg for best texture. Chill dough for 15 minutes if cookies spread too much. Optional add-ins like nuts or oats add texture. For vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and egg with flax egg.
