Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or hand mixer
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients:
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients:
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Add Chocolate Chips:
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Portion the Dough:
  • Scoop the dough into six equal portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake:
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as they cool.
  • Cool and Serve:
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
