One Pot Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350º, adjust oven rack to the middle of the oven (alternatively - 325º convection, racks are at the upper ⅓ and lower ⅔ of the oven). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

2. 2

   Melt butter in a saucepan, take off heat, add sugars, whisk to combine well. Set aside to cool.

3. 3

   In a medium size bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.

4. 4

   Add egg to cooled butter/sugar mixture. Whisk a lot until the color lightens a little. Add vanilla.

5. 5

   Add flour mixture to butter mixture in the pot. Stir with rubber spatula until just combined.

6. 6

   Add chocolate and nuts if desired.

7. 7

   Using a spoon, form small balls of dough on the cookie sheets about 1½ inches apart; you should have about 12-14 balls on a cookie sheet.

8. 8

   Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly golden Makes 24 cookies Variation: If you do not let the butter sugar/mixture cool completely, the chocolate chips will melt a little while stirring them into the batter, producing a “marbled” look. You can remove 1½ oz flour and replace it with 1½ oz of oatmeal for a delicious variation. You can freeze the dough by forming your balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet (no need to space them out) and placing sheet in freezer. Once the balls are frozen, toss them in a ziplock bag. When you are ready to use them, simply preheat your oven and bake the cookie balls from frozen.
