The best soft chocolate chip cookies author: pinch of yum prep time: 10 mins cook time: 10 mins total time: 20 minutes yield: 12 cookies 1x INGREDIENTS 8 tablespoons of salted butter 1/2 cup white sugar (I like to use raw cane sugar with a coarser texture) 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 egg 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (more as needed – see video) 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt (but I always add a little extra) 3/4 cup chocolate chips (I use a combination of chocolate chips and chocolate chunks) INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds to just barely melt it. It shouldn’t be hot – but it should be almost entirely in liquid form. Using a stand mixer or electric beaters, beat the butter with the sugars until creamy. Add the vanilla and the egg; beat on low speed until just incorporated – 10-15 seconds or so (if you beat the egg for too long, the cookies will be stiff). Add the flour, baking soda, and salt.
