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:

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. 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.
  3. Whisk in the egg and 13g of vanilla extract until the batter appears glossy and smooth.
  4. 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.
  5. Fold in the 250g of semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  7. 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.
