Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon hot water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Mix-Ins:
- 1 ¼ cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Add the egg and vanilla; mix until combined. In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in hot water, then add to the batter along with salt and flour. Stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake: Drop spoonfuls of batter onto baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are barely golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you like crunch, add ½ cup of walnuts or pecans.
- For chewier cookies, mix in ½ cup of oatmeal.
- Swap chocolate chips for chocolate chunks if desired.
- Remove cookies when edges are barely golden to avoid over-baking.
- Ensure baking soda is fully dissolved in hot water before adding to batter.
- You can mix the batter by hand if you prefer not to use a mixer.
