Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Egg, large
- 1 piece Egg yolk, large
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 50 grams Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a large round baking pan (12 inches) or pizza pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Let it cool slightly before using.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate 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.
Fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the center is still slightly soft.
Remove the cookie from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.
Decorate the top with additional sprinkles or frosting if desired for a festive touch.
Slice into wedges like a pizza or cut into squares and serve!
