Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Extra chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round baking pan or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Add extra chocolate chips on top.
8. Bake for 20–22 minutes or until edges are golden and center is just set.
9. Cool in pan for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For an extra rich flavor, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top after baking.
Customize by adding nuts, white chocolate chips, or candy pieces.
Do not overbake — the center should look slightly underdone when you take it out.
