Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup salted butter (112g, softened)
- ½ cup light brown sugar (100g, packed)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar (66g)
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (195g, spooned and leveled)
- 1 tablespoon powdered milk (optional but recommended)
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1½ cups mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line two 13×18-inch baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl with a Danish dough whisk (preferred) or a wooden spoon, cream together ½ cup salted butter, ½ cup light brown sugar, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon fine sea salt until pale and fluffy.
