Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Large egg yolk
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.333 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until just liquid. Let it cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and egg yolk to the butter-sugar mixture and whisk until fully combined.
In a separate small bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set but soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
