Makes 12 cookies · 235 kcal per serving

Ingredients

• 191 g All Purpose Flour
• 113 g Salted Butter
• 100 g White Sugar
• 55 g Brown Sugar
• 4.2 g Vanilla Extract
• 50 g Egg
• 2.4 g Baking Soda
• 1.5 g Salt
• 135 g Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Method

1. 1. Melt the butter until almost fully liquid but not hot (~40 s in the microwave).
2. 2. Beat it with both sugars until creamy, then beat in the vanilla and egg on low just 10–15 sec; don't overbeat.
3. 3. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until crumbly, then press the crumbs together into a ball and fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
4. 4. Roll into 12 large balls, space on a sheet and bake at 350°F / 175°C for 9–11 min, until puffy and dry-looking with barely golden edges.
5. 5. Err towards under-baking vs over-baking to avoid dryness.
6. 6. Cool on the pan 30 min; they sink and firm into a dense, soft crumb.
