Ingredients 

  • ½ cup butter melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix very well until the mixture looks smooth and glossy.
  • Stir in the baking soda and flour until a soft dough forms.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a large ball.
  • Place the dough balls well spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten them slightly.
  • Bake for 15–17 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before serving or transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • These cookies are extra delicious served warm while the chocolate chips are still melty.
  • The melted butter makes this recipe quick and easy with no mixer needed, though you can absolutely use one if preferred.
  • You can swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, or a mix of your favorites.
  • Don’t overbake the cookies. The centers may look slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven, but they’ll continue setting as they cool.
  • This recipe doubles or triples easily if you want to make more giant cookies for a crowd.
  • For extra bakery-style cookies, press a few additional chocolate chips onto the tops before baking.
