  • 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

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven:
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
  4. 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.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
  6. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Add Chocolate Chips:
  8. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  9. Portion the Dough:
  10. Scoop the dough into six equal portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  11. Bake:
  12. 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.
  13. Cool and Serve:
  14. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
