Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup butter unsalted, softened
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- sea salt sprinkle
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- On top of the butter mixture, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Lightly mix the dry ingredients with a fork and then stir until almost combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and continue mixing until the flour is just incorporated. Allow the cookie dough to rest for 5 minutes.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 9 minutes, then check for doneness. The cookies should appear set and lightly golden. If necessary, continue baking in 1-minute increments until fully done.
- Sprinkle sea salt over the warm cookies for an extra touch.
Notes
For softer cookies, avoid overbaking them.
Feel free to mix in nuts or other chocolate varieties for added flavor.
