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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Let it cool slightly so it doesn’t scramble the egg yolk.

Step 3

Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract and the egg yolk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Stir until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each one into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Step 8

Gently press down on each ball of dough to slightly flatten it for even baking.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking for soft, chewy cookies.

Step 10

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!
