Berea's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons salted butter
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds to just barely melt it.
2. Using a stand mixer or electric beaters, beat the butter with the sugars until creamy. Add the vanilla and egg; beat on low speed until just incorporated, 10-15 seconds or so.
3. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the chocolate chips.
4. Roll the dough into 12 large balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the cookies look puffy and dry and just barely golden.
5. Let them cool on the pan for a good 30 minutes or so.
