Print Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 12

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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Microwave the butter (about 40 seconds to just melt it).
  • 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).
  • Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until crumbles form. Use your hands to press the crumbles together to make dough.
  • Use your hands to mix in the chocolate chips.
  • Divide the dough and roll into 12 large balls.
  • 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.
