Surgical Techniques
Step 1: Mix and Measure
Mix your butter and sugar until it's smooth sailing. Measure out your dry ingredients with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker.
Step 2: Add the Magic Potion
Crack in that egg and add a dash of vanilla extract. Stir until it's just so.
Step 3: Flour Power
Gradually add your flour, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl with the finesse of a dental hygienist.
Step 4: Chip in the Chocolate
Add those delightful chocolate chips and stir until they're evenly distributed, like the stars in a celestial alignment.
Post-Operative Care
Pop those cookies into the oven and bake until they're golden brown. Let them cool, then devour. Repeat as necessary.
