Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  2. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  3. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  4. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  5. 1/2 cup sugar
  6. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  7. 1 large egg
  8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  9. 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Optional: Decorate with additional chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted chocolate for a festive Father's Day touch.

Tips

  1. Room temperature ingredients are key: Ensure your butter and egg are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better texture.
  2. Don't overmix the dough - this can make cookies tough. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
  3. Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly.
  4. For extra pizzazz, try adding Dad's favorite mix-ins like nuts or different chocolate varieties.
  5. Let cookies cool completely to achieve the perfect chewy-crisp balance.
  6. Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh, and consider packaging them in a special Father's Day gift box for an extra personal touch.
