Supplies Needed

• 1 large mixing bowl
• rubber spatula
• measuring cups
• measuring spoons
• cookie (baking) sheet
• non-stick cooking spray
• oven mit
• oven

Ingredients

• 4 oz. *cool* unsalted butter (1 stick) - 114 grams
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar - 48 grams
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed - 140 grams
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour - 140 grams
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips (use more or less as desired)

**Make sure to level off the dry ingredients before adding them to the mix**

**Don't preheat the oven quite yet because there is a short chill time**

• Wash your hands with soap and warm water to promote a clean working environment. Keeping our hands clean is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others.

• Mix the cool butter until creamy using a rubber spatula. Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
• When creamy, mix in the egg.
• When the egg is mixed in, add in salt and baking soda - mix just enough so that the baking soda and salt are fully mixed in, but don't go crazy beating the batter.

• Add flour a little at a time and stir until it is almost blended in.

• Add in the chocolate chips and stir until all of the flour disappears.

• Put plastic wrap over bowl and chill the dough for about half an hour (or longer) in a fridge.

• After your dough is chilled, preheat your oven to 325-350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray your cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
• Roll the individual bits into compact balls, press them slightly so that the tops are flat, and drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the sprayed baking pan.
• Place the dough about 2 inches apart from each other.

• Once your trays are ready, carefully place them into the preheated oven on the middle and/or top rack (**Do not put a tray on the bottom rack because the cookies will bake quicker and will more likely burn**).
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

• Take the tray out of the oven once the edges are golden brown.
• When they are firm enough to lift, transfer the cookies onto a cooling rack and let them cool completely for 5 to 10 minutes.

• Once cooled completely, be sure to enjoy and share these delicious, thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies with family and friends!
