The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds more fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: chocolate chunks

Dark chocolate has less sugar and more antioxidants, while chocolate chunks can be less expensive.

Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste has formed with no lumps.

Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk.

Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula, being careful not to overmix too much.

Fold in the chocolate chunks evenly, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.

Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches of space between cookies and 2 inches of space from the edges of the pan.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.

Cool completely, and enjoy!
