Description
Delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies that are soft and chewy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup plus 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ¼ cup plus 2 tbsp dark brown sugar (firmly packed)
- ½ tsp water
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and set aside.
- Using a large bowl with a hand held mixer or standing mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in vanilla and water, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Then, add the egg and mix until combined.
- Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Do not overmix once the flour has been added.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop 1 to 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2–3 inches apart as the cookies will spread quite a bit while baking.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 11-13 minutes, or until the cookies are nicely browned.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheet about 5 minutes. Once they start to firm up, move to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- Once cool, enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use salted butter instead of unsalted.
