Print Recipe

These small-batch chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, and ready in under 25 minutes with no chill time. Made with simple pantry ingredients, they’re perfect for satisfying a cookie craving without a week’s worth of leftovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or stirring with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out 6-8 equal-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake immediately for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underdone and puffy.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For perfectly round cookies, use a round cookie cutter or glass to gently swirl the cookies while still warm. For extra chocolate in every bite, press a few additional chips into the tops of the dough balls before baking. If your kitchen is warm, chill the dough for 10-15 minutes to prevent excessive spreading.
