Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips (60% cocoa or higher)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.

Keywords: For added texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts or using milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate. A sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking can enhance flavor. Chill your dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to control spread and improve texture.
