Total Time: 32 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and ground cinnamon, stirring gently to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For best flavor and texture, allow cookies to cool entirely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened (not melted) for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- For extra cinnamon flavor, consider sprinkling a little additional ground cinnamon on top before baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely to develop their full flavor profile and achieve the ideal chewy texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container with a small piece of bread to help maintain moisture and softness.
- For best results, use room temperature egg and fresh chocolate chips.
- If you prefer a softer cookie, slightly underbake by removing from the oven when edges are just turning golden.
