Bake delicious chocolate chip sugar cookies in under 30 minutes. Enjoy a perfect blend of buttery and chewy goodness.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Rubber spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons (or kitchen scale)
- Cookie scoop (optional)
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Wire rack
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon (5g) vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon (3g) baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon (1g) baking powder
- ½ teaspoon (3g) kosher salt
- ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°Fahrenheit (175°Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Sprinkle in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Use a rubber spatula to mix until just combined.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Scoop cookie dough balls (about 1 ½ tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let baked cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use a kitchen scale for the most accurate flour measurement—too much flour makes dry cookies.
Slightly underbake for chewy centers; cookies will firm up as they cool.
Mini chocolate chips distribute better, but you can use regular chocolate chips if preferred.
For thicker cookies, let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
