Ingredients

  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ¾ cups self-rising flour
  • 1 ¼ cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until completely combined. Next, whisk in the egg. 
  • Add the self-rising flour and stir until it is fully incorporated. 
  • Add the chocolate chips and fold them into the cookie dough. 
  • Cover the bowl and place the dough in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. While the cookie dough chills, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
  • Scoop out 2-tablespoon-sized balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place them at least 2” apart.
  • Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Then remove the tray from the oven and tap it on the counter a few times to sink the cookies. 
  • Run a round cookie cutter around the edge of the cookies to shape them into smooth, round circles. 
  • Return the cookies to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. 
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely on the tray.

Notes

  • For cookies with the best texture, chill the dough for at least half an hour so some of the extra moisture can evaporate, which prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Whisk the ingredients until the flour is fully incorporated to make sure there are no lumps in the dough.
  • Use a cookie scoop to get perfectly even cookies that bake at the same rate.
  • I prefer to let the cookies cool right on the baking sheet instead of transferring them to a wire rack, which can cause them to crumble if they’re moved too soon.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.
