Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter, (browned if desired)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- coarse salt for sprinkling if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Mix together the butter and the sugars until well combined.
- Add the vanilla and the egg, and beat until combined.
- Add the salt and then the flour in small amounts, mixing until well incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop cookies onto cookie sheets. I use a large scoop that is just barely less than ½ cup of dough. Do not overcrowd them.
- Sprinkle coarse salt on top of each, if desired. (you should. it brings the cookies up a level)
- Bake at 350ºF for 8-12 minutes, until the edges are just set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheets.
- makes 1 dozen large cookies
