Easiest Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Description
The Easiest Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe brings together simple ingredients including melted butter and a blend of sugars, vanilla, eggs, and semisweet chocolate chips. The use of melted butter contributes to the tender, chewy texture, while the measured flour and baking soda ensure the proper rise and structure. Cookies are scooped into medium-sized rounds and baked until they are set but still slightly soft in the center, preserving a moist bite. This recipe's approach balances sweetness and texture without elaborate steps.
The cookies develop gently crisp edges while retaining a soft and slightly sticky center when baked for 7 to 10 minutes at 350°F. This short bake time prevents dryness or crumbliness. The simple mixing method keeps the dough easy to handle, and the vanilla adds depth to the flavor. Cookies can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert, pairing well with milk or tea.
Proper measuring of the flour by fluffing and scooping helps avoid dry or crumbly results, while monitoring bake time is important to maintain softness. The dough's softness and slight stickiness guide readiness for baking. Adjustments to bake time may be needed based on oven differences.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg large
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour properly measured
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds. Butter should be completely melted but shouldn't be 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. Please read the recipe note about properly measuring flour.
- Mix dough until just combined. Dough should be soft and a little sticky but not overly sticky.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Scoop out 1.5 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 underbaked in the middle.3
Notes
- Measure flour by fluffing, scooping, and sweeping to avoid too much that leads to dry cookies.
- Start checking cookies at 7 minutes to prevent overbaking; adjust time based on your oven.
