Ingredients
  

  • 8 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon extra fine pink himalayan salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Microwave the butter (about 40 seconds to just melt it).
  3. With a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Add the vanilla and egg, beat on low speed until just incorporated (10-15 seconds).
  4. Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until crumbles form. Use your hands to press the crumbles together to make dough.
  5. Use your hands to mix in the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the dough and roll into 12 large balls.
  7. Bake for 9 - 11 minutes. The cookies will still be puffy and not look fully cooked. When you see the slightest bit of brown, pull them out and let them cool on the pan.

Notes

I use organic ingredients whenever possible. For this recipe, I used organic cane sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, eggs and chocolate chips.
