Equipment

Ingredients

¼ cup unsalted butter room temperature
¼ cup shortening
1 ¼ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream
2 ¼ cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the white sugar, butter, and shortening on medium speed until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
Blend in the sour cream until smooth.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Scoop dough with a #40 cookie scoop (about 1½ tablespoons per cookie). For evenly round finished cookies, gently place a glass over each cookie after baking and swirl in a circular motion to shape them.
Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers look set.
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overbake. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
For evenly round cookies, gently place a glass over each cookie right after baking and swirl in a circular motion to shape them.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
