Golden Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

These golden dark chocolate chip cookies bake up crisp at the edges, soft in the center, and packed with rich melty chocolate in every bite.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
4. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, then mix just until a soft cookie dough forms.
5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tip: For extra gooey cookies, press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each dough ball before baking.
