Step-by-Step Instructions for Best Chocolate Chip Cookie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine softened salted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in one large egg and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until fully combined, around 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
  6. Using a cookie scoop, portion out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges turn golden brown while centers remain soft.
  8. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
