Simple and Quick Chocolate Chip Cookies

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
    • Add the vanilla extract and egg, and mix until fully combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips:
    • Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  5. Shape the Cookies:
    • Scoop 1–2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked—that’s okay!
  7. Cool and Enjoy:
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely (if you can wait that long!).

Pro Tips:

  • For extra gooey cookies, press a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking.
  • Use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips for added depth of flavor.

Enjoy these quick, classic cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee! 😋
