All the classic comfort of a chocolate chip cookie, but without needing brown sugar. A one bowl recipe for soft and chewy chocolate chip sugar cookies are filled with semisweet chocolate chips.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla, beating to incorporate.
Slowly add the flour, baking soda and salt, beating until just combined.
Stir the chocolate chips through the dough with a spatula.
Scoop the dough into rounds and place on a piece of parchment or plate and place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175C/155C Fan) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheets.
After the dough has chilled, place rounds on your prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2" apart. Bake in the centre of your preheated oven for about 12 minutes, until the edges begin to brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking tray for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
