Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two quarter sheet pans or a half sheet pan with parchment paper (use a light-colored pan if you have it).
  2. In a large, microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt butter in 15-20 second intervals in the microwave. Whisk sugar with the butter for 1 minute, until pale. Then whisk in egg and vanilla extract.
  3. Add in the remaining dry ingredients, stirring until almost fully combined. Then add the chocolate chips and stir to fully combine, being careful to not overmix.
  4. Use a #40 cookie scoop or 2 Tablespoons to make cookie dough balls, and spread them 2 to 3 inches apart on the baking sheet. Top with a few additional chocolate chip cookies as desired.
  5. Bake for 14-17 minutes. I find that 16 minutes is best for a light-colored pan, and a darker pan needs only about 14 minutes. The edges should be set and starting to turn slightly golden brown, but keep in mind they will be lighter in color because there is no brown sugar. Don't overbake these, or they will be too crispy!
  6. Let cool on the pan for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely (or until just warm enough to handle and enjoy!). Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Weigh the flour and sugar for best results.
  • You can use any kind of chocolate chips for these cookies. I like semi-sweet chocolate chips or bittersweet chocolate for a rich flavor. Give chocolate chunks a try, too!
  • Storage: because they don't have brown sugar, they do tend to dry out a little more quickly than traditional chocolate chip cookies. I recommend storing them in an airtight container (some say with a slice of bread to prevent any additional drying). Keep them at room temperature for as long as they last - a day around here!
