Ingredients Needed

  • Butter: you can use regular butter or vegan butter if you’re dairy free. You can also swap it out for hardened coconut oil. 
  • Egg: using just one egg is going to make these cookies super soft and chewy instead of cakey.
  • Light Brown Sugar: I prefer using light brown sugar, but you can use dark brown sugar if that’s all you have on hand. 
  • Flour: I always use all purpose flour, but you can replace up to a third of the flour with white whole wheat or regular whole wheat flour.

Step by Step Instructions

chocolate chipless cookies process in four steps

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.

Step 3: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, mix the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until just combined.

Step 5: Mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms, making sure not to over-mix.

Step 6: Use a medium cookie scoop or a spoon to make 1.5-2 tablespoon sized cookie dough balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet 3-4 inches apart.

Step 7: Bake the cookies one sheet at a time for 8-11 minutes. Take them out of the oven when the edges have set but the middles still look slightly underbaked. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Expert Tips

  • I always recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh your flour! It’s really easy to add too much flour if you use a measuring cup, giving you dry and crumbly cookies. Don’t have a kitchen scale? Make sure to use the scoop and level method to weigh your flour!
  • Don’t over-mix the dough once you’ve added the egg and then the dry ingredients. Mixing the dough too much can change the texture of the cookies. 
  • Bake the cookies one sheet at a time, this ensures the cookies will bake evenly. 
  • To get that bakery style look, gently scoot the cookies with a biscuit cutter or mug as soon as they come out of the oven. This will make them perfectly round.

Storage Instructions

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5-6 days.

To freeze, place in a freezer bag for up to two months. Let them thaw at room temperature before enjoying them.
