Equipment
- Electric Mixer
- Plastic Wrap
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop the dough out onto a large sheet of plastic wrap. Use the wrap to shape the dough into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2-3 inches thick. Seal the ends tightly and place the log in the refrigerator for 1 hour to chill and firm up.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the chilled dough log from the refrigerator and unwrap the plastic wrap. Use a sharp knife to slice the dough into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the cookie rounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 13 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. Avoid overbaking to maintain their tender texture.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or transferring to a wire rack to cool further.
