½cupunsalted butter melted and cooled in the fridge (see note)
1teaspoonbaking soda
1tablespoonvanilla extract
1egg
½teaspoonsalt
½cupsemisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Melt your butter in the microwave and then let it sit in your fridge to cool down. I recommend letting it cool for 10-15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and then stir well with a large spoon.
Add the vanilla and butter (make sure it has cooled in the fridge or the cookies will turn out way too thin).
Add the egg and then mix with a hand mixer for two minutes or until well mixed. Do not over mix.
Add the chocolate chips in with a large spoon.
Using a medium cookie scoop (about 1 ½ tablespoons), measure out your dough.
Roll into balls that are tall and cylindrical shaped instead of round. As they bake they will turn into circles.
Note that the cookies will spread some so leave room while placing your dough on the sheet.
Bake for 14 to 16 minutes at 350 degrees or until golden brown around the edges.
Notes
Don't skip letting your butter cool in the refrigerator. This will help the cookies from becoming crumbly and spreading too much.Nutritional information is an estimate only.
