Ingredients
1/2 cup 1/2 unsalted room temperature butter
1/2 cup 1/2 sugar
1/2 cup 1/2 brown sugar
1 1 egg
1 teaspoon 1 vanilla
1 1/2 cups 1 1/2 flour
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 baking soda
1 teaspoon 1 hot water
1/4 teaspoon 1/4 salt
1 cup 1 chocolate chips
flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water and add it to the batter. Add in the salt and flour and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold the chocolate chips into the batter. Feel free to use semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate chips depending on your preference.
- Use a large cookie scoop to drop the dough on the prepared baking sheets. Space them out about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 14 minutes- the cookies should be set and just starting to brown on top.
- If desired, top with flaky sea salt immediately after removing from the oven. Allow to cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
So good!
