Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F on standard Bake (do not use convection). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream: Mix the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using a stand mixer or hand mixer until the texture is light, soft, and fluffy.

Wet Ingredients: Blend the vanilla extract and the single egg into your creamed butter mixture until completely integrated.

Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cricket powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Combine: Slowly pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients while stirring. Once fully incorporated into a dough, gently fold in your chocolate chips.

Bake: Scoop the cookie dough into equal-sized rounds onto your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes
