To make easy chocolate chip cookies, follow these simple steps:
- Start by mixing your dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) in a bowl.
- In another bowl, combine melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar.
- Add an egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk well.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 7 to 11 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
This method requires basic pantry ingredients, no special tools, and a short baking time, making it ideal for a quick and easy chocolate chip cookie recipe that yields soft and chewy results.
