Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.125 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Let it cool slightly so it doesn’t scramble the egg yolk.
Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined.
Mix in the vanilla extract and the egg yolk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each one into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Gently press down on each ball of dough to slightly flatten it for even baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking for soft, chewy cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
