Servings: 8
Ingredients
  • • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • • 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • • 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • • Pinch of salt
  • • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. 3
    Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.

  5. 5
    Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. 6
    Chill the dough in the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes if you prefer thicker cookies.
  7. 7
    Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
  8. 8
    Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.
  9. 9
    Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Note

Measuring flour:
For best results, spoon and level your flour rather than scooping it directly from the bag to avoid dry cookies.
Egg yolk only:
This small batch recipe uses just the yolk to create a rich, chewy texture—no egg white needed.
Chill the dough:
Chilling is optional, but it helps prevent spreading and results in thicker, bakery-style cookies.
Don’t overbake:
Cookies continue baking on the hot sheet after removal. Take them out when edges are golden and centers look slightly underbaked.
Mix-ins:
Feel free to add walnuts, dark chocolate, or a pinch of sea salt on top before baking.
