If you’re looking for a quick and easy chocolate chip cookie recipe, this one is for you. It’s a one-bowl recipe that makes soft chocolate chip cookies is less than 20 minutes — no mixer necessary, no chilling needed. There’s one thing you need to be careful of — flour packs easily and using too much flour in cookies will give you dry, crumbly dough and cookies that don’t spread — so make sure you sift the flour before measuring and make sure your measurement is precise.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients:
• ½ cup butter
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
• Preheat the oven to 350º F.
• Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds. Butter should be completely melted but not hot.
• In a large bowl, mix butter with the sugars until well-combined.
• Stir in vanilla and egg until incorporated.
• Add the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Mix dough until just combined. Dough should be soft and a little sticky but not overly sticky.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Scoop out 1½ tablespoons of dough (medium cookie scoop) and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
• Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until cookies are set. They will be puffy and still look a little under-baked in the middle.
