Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup salted butter (softened)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Directions:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine the softened butter and both sugars into a mixer and whisk on high until creamy.

  2. Then add egg, milk, and vanilla and mix until smooth.

  3. Next, add baking soda and flour ( I like to add baking soda first so it is mixed throughout). Mix flour ½ cup at a time and use a rubber spatula to scrape any flour from the sides or bottom of the bowl.
  4. Finally add the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula or use your whisk attachment to mix them in gently.

  5. Then, roll the cookie dough balls out and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (smashing the balls down a little with your hand).

  6. Bake for 10 minutes, rotating half-way through the cooking time.
