The Real Deal:
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar (half white, half brown)
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Leave your egg and butter out overnight to warm. Mix the sugar and butter until creamy, add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
Separately, combine:
- 1-1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Then mix the dry into the wet ingredients, and stir in:
- 6-7 ounces chocolate chips (Ghirardelli or other premium chocolate preferred, semi-sweet or milk)
Grease a sheet and bake these bad boys at 375°F for 10-12 minutes. Cool them on a rack, then grab some milk…
(Store airtight. After a few days, use a microwave for 20 seconds to get that fresh-baked gooeyness again.)
