Instructions
For the Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with a silpat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place a sifter over a large mixing bowl and combine flour & baking soda. Sift through then set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat butter until creamy (about 2 minutes)
- Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle then add sugars and salt. Beat for an additional minute or until smooth.
- Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle then add egg & vanilla and beat on low for about 15 seconds or until fluffy.
- Scrape down sides of the bowl and paddle and then add flour. Beat on low speed until all flour is incorporated then fold in chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough into balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until bottom and edges are gently browned. Allow to cool for 3-5 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cooled, place in a freezer safe bag and freeze for 30 minutes+
