Get the Recipe: Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies
These chocolate chip sugar cookies are soft, buttery and studded with mini chocolate chips. They are a fun twist on classic sugar cookies. These cookies are festive, easy and so yummy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups white granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups gluten free 1 to 1 flour, or all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, add room temperature butter and white sugar to a stand mixer. Beat for 1 minute on high, until combined.
- Then, add in egg and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Add in flour and baking soda. Stir to combine.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
- Once chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use cookie scoop to scoop 1 inch round balls of dough onto lined pan.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until cookies are set in the middle.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter. Melted or solid butter will yield different textures. I like to set my butter out an hour or two before baking.
- Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour can be used.
- Chilling the dough is not optional. I have tried to bake these cookies without chilling and they spread too much.
- Mini chocolate chips add the perfect amount of chocolate without being overpowering. I suggest using mini or finely chopped chocolate.
- These cookies are soft and fragile. Handle carefully after baking.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Freeze cookies for up to 2 months if desired.
