Ingredients:
- 170g (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 200g (1 cup) light brown sugar, packed
- 100g (1/2 cup) granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg (50g), room temperature
- 13g (1 tablespoon) vanilla extract
- 250g (2 cups) all purpose flour, leveled
- 5g (1 teaspoon) baking soda
- 3g (1/2 teaspoon) sea salt
- 250g (1.5 cups) semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter with the brown and white sugars for about 1 minute until the mixture resembles wet sand and is fully emulsified.
- Whisk in the egg and 13g of vanilla extract until the batter appears glossy and smooth.
- Switch to a rubber spatula and whisk together the 250g of flour, 5g of baking soda, and 3g of salt in a separate bowl. Fold the dry ingredients directly into the wet ingredients until just a few streaks of flour remain, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the 250g of semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes until the edges are firm and golden, but the centers still look slightly wet. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes to allow for carryover cooking.
