Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• Nonstick cooking spray
• Special equipment: waffle iron (preferably Belgian style)

Instructions

1. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the sugars and butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and egg until incorporated. Adjust the speed to medium-low and add the flour in 2 batches, mixing until incorporated. Mix in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-low. Generously spray the top and bottom of the waffle iron with cooking spray. Scoop tablespoons of the dough, roll into balls and flatten slightly. Working in batches, place 1 dough round onto each section of the waffle iron, close gently and cook until slightly crisp, 3 to 6 minutes.
3. Serve the cookies warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
