Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies: Gooey

Instructions:

1. Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together on medium-high speed until the mixture is pale, fluffy, and the sugar has begun to dissolve.
2. Beat in the room-temperature egg and vanilla extract until fully emulsified.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Set mixer to the lowest setting and slowly add the flour mixture, mixing only until no white streaks of flour remain.
5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand using a spatula.
6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes, removing when edges are light golden brown but centers still look slightly soft.
8. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
