Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
2
In a mixing bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside for later.
3
In a separate large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Add in the egg, hot water, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
5
Gradually incorporate the dry flour mixture into the wet mixture, beating until just blended and smooth.
6
Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate morsels until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7
Using a rounded measuring teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring to leave some space between each cookie for spreading.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
