Instructions

Prepare dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Mix wet ingredients

In a large bowl, mix melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.

Pro tip: Ensure the butter is cool to avoid cooking the egg.

Combine mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Chill the dough

Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Chilling helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances the crunch.

Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Shape and bake cookies

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each. Flatten slightly with a fork. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and cookies are set.

Pro tip: Cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze cookie dough?
