Ingredients

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.
