• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

2. In a bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy.

3. Add egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients

4. Sift in flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined (don’t over-mix).

5. Fold in chocolate chips using a spatula.

Step 3: Shape & Bake

6. Scoop small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the baking tray, leaving space between each cookie.

7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.

8. Let them cool for 5 minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.

Tips for Perfect Cookies:

✔ For chewy cookies, remove them from the oven while the center is still slightly soft.
✔ For crispier cookies, bake for an extra 2-3 minutes.
✔ Add nuts like walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.
✔ Use cold butter for thicker cookies and melted butter for thinner, chewy ones.
