- 1 cup chocolate chips (any kind)
- 1 cup chopped nuts, optional
How To Make 5 (or 6) ingredient perfect chocolate chip cookies
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350°
-
Step 2Mix butter and sugar together until thoroughly combined.
-
Step 3Add the egg and mix until incorporated.
-
Step 4Stir in flour, the chocolate chips and nuts, if desired.
-
Step 5Scoop onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment (or use a silpat) by the tablespoonsful, place about 2 inches apart - they will spread out some.
-
Step 6Bake at 350° until just lightly browned on the edges (the middle may look a bit undercooked) 7-9 minutes (it may take longer depending on the size of the cookies - if you used a level or heaping tablespoonful - and your oven...it took about 18 minutes in my oven.)
-
Step 7Allow to cool on the baking sheet 2 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
- Last Step: Don't forget to share! Post a picture of your finished recipe here and on your favorite social network. Don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes!
