This recipe delivers tender, soft, and chewy chocolate chip cookies perfectly sized for lunchboxes. Made with simple ingredients and quick to prepare, these cookies offer a nostalgic texture and balanced sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175 g) 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 medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges look set but centers are still soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened but not melted butter for best texture. Do not overmix after adding flour to avoid tough cookies. Chilling dough for 20 minutes before baking can reduce spreading. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft longer. Dough can be refrigerated up to 48 hours before baking to improve flavor and texture.
