1tablespooneggwell beaten (beat an egg, then measure out 1 tablespoon)
1/4teaspoonvanilla
1/4cupplus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
scant 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8teaspoonsalt
1/4cupchocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Cream together the butter and sugars using a fork. A 2-cup glass measuring cup is perfect for this.
Break the egg in a small bowl and whisk it well with a fork. Measure out the needed amount of egg and add it to the butter mixture. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and stir well to combine.
Then add the chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.
Spoon onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a baking mat. Plan on 6 to 8 cookies (I always end up with 7 when I use my cookie scoop).
Bake at 375 for 8-11 minutes.
Let cool on the baking sheet and enjoy!

Notes
If you like a more "cake-like" cookie, feel free to add an additional 1 tablespoon of egg (for 2 tablespoons total) and an additional 1 tablespoon of flour. This produces a fluffier cookie.
You can increase the chocolate chips to 1/3 cup if you'd like.
Use whatever chocolate chips you like.
This recipe will work fine with margarine if that's what you have on hand.
