Recipe Steps:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape each portion into a long, rectangular stick, about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. Flatten slightly with your fingers.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
