The Best one bowl cookie recipe
I love making cookies from scratch, but I don’t love cleaning up a million dishes afterward. That is why this one bowl cookie recipe has become a staple in my kitchen. It is simple, straightforward, and the cookies come out perfectly every single time.
My kids love helping me make these because there is only one bowl to wash when we are done. This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights when you want a sweet treat without spending hours in the kitchen. It is also great for holiday baking or when you need to bring a dessert to a potluck or family gathering.
The cookies are soft, chewy, and full of flavor. They have a classic taste that everyone enjoys. Using just one bowl means less mess and less stress.
You mix the melted butter and sugars first, then add the egg and vanilla. Then you stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Finally you fold in the chocolate chips.
That is it. The dough comes together quickly and easily. These cookies are also a little healthier than some recipes because I use less sugar and a mix of whole wheat and all purpose flour.
You can also swap in dark chocolate chips for more antioxidants. My family never notices the difference and they always ask for more. This recipe is a keeper for sure.
