Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened, cut into cubes)
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (white)
  • 1 Large Egg (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups Semi‑Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven

    Set the oven to 350°F (177°C) and let it fully preheat.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 350°F

  2. Combine Dry Ingredients (Reverse Creaming)

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the softened butter and use the mixer on low speed to coat the flour with the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    Time: PT4M

  3. Cream Butter and Sugars

    In a separate bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.

    Time: PT3M

  4. Add Egg and Vanilla

    Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture and beat until just combined, about 30 seconds.

    Time: PT1M

  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Gradually add the butter‑flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Portion Dough

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough (about 1.5 inches in diameter) onto the sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

    Time: PT2M

  7. Bake

    Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look soft.

    Time: PT12M

    Temperature: 350°F

  8. Cool

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

    Time: PT5M
