Ingredients
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter (salted)
- 111 grams dark brown sugar (1/2 cup, packed)
- 67 grams granulated sugar (1/3 cup)
- 158 grams all-purpose flour (1 cup + 2 tablespoons)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt see note
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. I always double check my oven temperture with a separate inexpensive oven thermometer.
- I use a hand mixer to mix this cookie dough.
- Melt butter in skillet - stirring until the whole stick is melted - let gently simmer for 1 min. Take off heat and stir in sugars.
- Pour melted butter and sugar mixture into mixing bowl and let cool about 5 minutes. (you don't want to scramble the egg you'll be adding next)
- While it's cooling, combine flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a small bowl and stir together. (I have started weighing my flour with a digital kitchen scale - it's a much more accurate way to measure.)
- Use a hand mixer to mix the egg and vanilla into the cooled melted butter and sugars.
- Mix in the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Will thicken up a bit (as the flour hydrates), but still be a little softer than traditional cookie dough.
- Scoop 2 tablespoon portions onto baking sheet. I use a light colored 13 x 18" baking sheet lined with parchment. I fit 12 portions on the baking sheet and bake 1 batch at a time. Use a cool baking sheet for 2nd batch.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes or until golden brown on edges, puffed, cracked and slightly shiny on the top.
- Let cool on baking sheet 1-minute before removing to cooling rack.
Notes
Salt:
I use coarse Kosher salt - you may want to use less traditional iodized salt (which is a smaller grain and tends to taste saltier.)Oven Temperature: (flat cookies?)
I highly recommend double checking your oven temperature with an inexpensive oven thermometer. I find that my oven tends to run cooler than it says and takes longer to preheat too. When I bake these cookies and the oven is not hot enough - they tend to flatten out too much.Cookies Not Shiny?
I had this happen when I waited too long to bake them.Nutrition (approx. data estimated via online nutritional calculator.)
