Serving Size: 24

Cooking Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.75 Cups packed brown sugar, packaged
• 0.25 Cups white sugar
• 6 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) pure vanilla extract
• 1 Large egg white
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) water
• 1.5 Cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 0.75 Teaspoons (tsp) baking soda
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 0.5 Cups semisweet chocolate chips

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the brown sugar, white sugar, and softened butter until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Add the vanilla extract, egg white, and water to the creamed mixture. Mix until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tougher cookies.
5. Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges and set in the center. Avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. This helps them firm up and develop their chewy texture.
