Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and keep aside.
  • In another mixing bowl, add butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and mix everything together until light and fluffy. 
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. 
  • Gradually, add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. 
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll them into balls. If the dough is too soft, cover and chill for 30 minutes so that it's easier to handle.
  • Place these cookie dough balls on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper. Be sure to leave lots of space between the cookies to allow for spreading while baking.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown along the edges.
  • Remove the cookie tray from the oven and before the cookies cool down, push some more chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
  • Let the cookies cool down completely. Then remove them from the tray and enjoy!
