Crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (1 1/2 sticks)
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 12 ounces)

Recipe

• 1 heat the oven to 375°f and arrange a rack in the middle.
• 2 combine flour and salt in a small mixing bowl and whisk to break up any lumps.
• 3 set aside.
• 4 in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and brown sugar and beat on medium speed until fluffy and light.
• 5 scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl, add the egg, and mix until just incorporated; mix in vanilla extract.
• 6 reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture.
• 7 remove the bowl from the mixer stand and stir in the chocolate chips.
• 8 drop the cookie dough by rounded tablespoons, about 3 inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets.
• 9 bake until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. (turn the baking sheets halfway through if the oven does not heat evenly.)
• 10 remove cookies from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets (this will make them easier to remove), about 10 minutes.
