Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar (or sugar substitute) 100g
1/2 cup brown sugar (or sugar substitute) 90g
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 180g
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 80g

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a 1.5 tablespoons cookie scoop, drop scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the center is still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store your cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Notes

Nutrition facts are an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
Do not over-mix your dough to ensure soft, chewy cookies with a crispy outside.
If you want the cookies to all be the same shape after baking, take to top of a mason jar lid, large round glass or circle cookie cutter, place it over the cookie, and swirl it around in a circular motion for a few minutes. This will result in the perfect circular cookies.
