Ingredients
  • 1 cup plus two tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cup dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Make the batter: Combine the flour and baking soda. Set aside. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, “cream” the butter with the sugars until smooth, 8-10 minutes until light and fluffy. Do not rush this step. Add the egg, salt, and vanilla and beat until blended. Remove the bowl from the machine and stir in the flour mixture and chocolate.
  3. Bake the cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a nonstick baking sheet, leaving space between each, as they will “spread” as they cook. Bake until light brown on the tops and edges, 8-10 minutes. Remove and allow the cookies to “firm up” a little, 5-10 minutes, before serving.
