Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar for about 30 seconds. Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and fold just until all the flour is incorporated. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop all the cookie dough out, about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie onto a prepared baking sheet. Cover the baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

After the dough has chilled, arrange the scoops on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Leave at least 2 inches between each cookie for spreading room.

Bake the pans of cookies one at a time in the preheated oven for 10-14 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and the tops are no longer wet. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Bake the remaining cookies. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Butter Temperature Magic 🧈
Use room temperature butter that's softened but still slightly cool to the touch for the perfect cookie texture and optimal creaming with sugars.
Chill for Perfection 🧊
Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours) before baking to prevent spreading and develop deeper, more complex flavors.
Chocolate Chip Distribution 🍪
Reserve a handful of chocolate chips to press into the top of each cookie dough ball just before baking for a picture-perfect chocolate chip placement.
Precise Scooping Technique 📏
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to ensure uniform cookie sizes, which guarantees even baking and consistent texture across all cookies.
Golden Brown Mastery 🌟
Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked - they'll continue cooking on the hot baking sheet and develop a perfect chewy texture.
