Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures the leavening agent is evenly distributed, giving you perfectly risen cookies.
In a mixing bowl, add your softened butter. Using a whisk, hand mixer, or stand mixer, beat it gently until smooth and creamy. Now add the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Continue mixing until the mixture turns light, fluffy, and slightly pale—this step is key for that soft, tender texture in your cookies.
Add the egg along with the vanilla extract, then mix until everything is fully incorporated. At this stage, the batter should appear smooth, silky, and slightly glossy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Fold gently using a spatula or mix on low speed. Be careful not to overmix—stop as soon as a soft dough forms.
Add the Chocolate Chips. Fold in your twin chocolate chips. Make sure they’re evenly spread throughout the dough so every bite gets that rich chocolate goodness.
Scoop out portions of dough (about 35g, 1½–2 tablespoons of dough per cookie each if you want to follow your serving size) and roll them lightly into balls. Place them on your prepared baking tray, leaving space between each one—they will spread as they bake.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers still look soft. This contrast gives you that perfect chewy texture.
For a more polished, bakery-style look, you can gently press a few extra chocolate chips on top of the cookies right after baking. This simple step enhances their appearance and makes them look more appealing.
Let the cookies rest on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They’ll continue to firm up slightly as they cool.
