Equipment
- Mixer
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 128 grams
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup unsalted butter see notes for using salted
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp dark brown sugar firmly packed
- ½ tsp water
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and set aside.
- Using a large bowl with a hand held mixer or standing mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in vanilla and water, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Then, add the egg and mix until combined.
- Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Do not overmix once the flour has been added.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop 1 to 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2-3 inches apart as they cookies will spread quite a bit while baking.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 11-13 minutes, or until the cookies are nicely browned.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheet about 5 minutes. Once they start to firm up, move to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- Once cool, enjoy!
Notes
- If using salted butter, decrease added salt by 1/4 tsp.
- For measuring flour use a kitchen scale or the spoon and swipe method of fluffing up the flour and then spooning into the measure cups and swiping the excess off the top with a knife.
- Try using an ice cream scoop for the cookie dough to get even sized cookies.
- These cookies spread a lot, so be sure to space them out at least 2-3 inches apart when baking.
- This recipe makes about 18 - 20 three inch cookies and can easily be halved or doubled as needed.
- The baked cookies will last 3-5 days loosely covered at room temperature.
