Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine flour and baking soda in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter and brown sugar until well blended.
- Stir in egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Drop 1/4 cup of dough onto a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet, leaving about 2 1/2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are still soft.
Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor. If you prefer, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a richer taste. Make sure not to overmix the dough after adding the flour to keep the cookies tender.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are best enjoyed warm, paired with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a delightful twist, serve alongside a slice of Cleo'S Health Bread for a contrasting texture. They also make great gifts when packaged in a decorative box for friends and family.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to three months. To reheat, simply microwave for a few seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 300°F until just heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use granulated sugar instead of brown sugar?
Yes, you can substitute granulated sugar for brown sugar, but it will change the flavor and texture slightly. Brown sugar adds moisture and a caramel-like flavor, while granulated sugar will make the cookies crisper. Consider using a mix of both for the best results.
What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky to handle, try chilling it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. This will firm up the butter and make it easier to scoop. If needed, you can also add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Can I add nuts to the cookie dough?
Absolutely! Chopped walnuts or pecans can be added to the dough along with the chocolate chips for added crunch and flavor. About 1/2 to 1 cup of nuts would complement the cookie well without overpowering the chocolate.
