Lemon Chocolate Chip Cookies in 25 Min

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed, mixing only until the white streaks of flour disappear.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a spatula.
7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough (about 1.5 tbsp each) onto the prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 9–11 minutes until the edges are barely golden, but the centers still look slightly underbaked and soft.
9. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes to set.
