A quick and easy recipe for soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies made in one bowl without chilling the dough. Perfect for a fuss-free, delicious snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Pour melted unsalted butter into the dry mixture. Add granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Stir with a wooden spoon until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Add the large egg and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) between cookies.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use melted butter for a denser, chewier texture. Measure flour correctly by spooning and leveling to avoid dry, hard cookies. Avoid overbaking; remove cookies when centers look slightly underbaked. Dough can be refrigerated for 10 minutes if sticky but chilling is not required. For dairy-free, substitute butter with melted coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend with xanthan gum.
