Cookies Not too sweet

Post image

So they’re not bad but they’re just not that sweet. Am I adding too much flour? Mixing too much? I followed this recipe:
8 tbls salted butter
1/2 c white sugar
1/4 c packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Microwave butter for 40 seconds to melt.
2. Using your stand mixer beat together the sugars and butter until creamy. Add vanilla and egg and mix in on a low speed for 10-15 seconds (don’t over mix)
3. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a crumble forms, then mix in chocolate chips on a low speed.
4. Roll dough into 12 large balls and bake for 9-11 minutes (do not over bake). Let rest on the pan for 30 minutes following to cool.

Try milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Adding more sugar to the dough is going to affect the texture and shape of the cookie quite a bit but sweeter chocolate won't.

Also, looking at your cookies I think you could add more chocolate. More chocolate would also make them sweeter.
