Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl add ½ cup room temperature unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Beat together until combined.
  • Add in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg. Mix to combine. Stir in 1½ cup all-purpose flour. Press the dough together with your hands. Fold in ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips .
  • Lay a piece of plastic wrap on the counter. Place the cookie dough on the plastic wrap. Using the plastic wrap, roll the dough into a long round shape. Roll it against the counter to get the dough compact and round. Make sure the cookie dough is completely wrapped in the plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill. Chill the cookie dough for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. Using a large knife slice the cookie dough into 1/2 inch rounds.
  • Place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the edges of the cookies in to smooth out from cutting.
  • Bake the cookies for about 12-14 minutes until cooked through. Cookies will be slightly golden on the outside. They will not spread much or rise.
  • Allow cookies to cool, then drizzle with additional melted chocolate as desired. Store the cookies in sealed containers at room temperature.
