Scale
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon beaten egg (or egg yolk)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the cookie evenly.
- Mix Butter and Sugars: In a small bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.
- Add Flavor and Egg: Stir in the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and the beaten egg (or egg yolk) to the sugar and butter mixture, blending thoroughly.
- Incorporate Flour: Add the all-purpose flour and mix until a soft dough forms, ensuring there are no dry flour patches left.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Shape and Place Dough: Shape the dough into a ball and place it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten it slightly with your fingers to achieve the classic cookie shape.
- Bake the Cookie: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the center looks just set but still soft.
- Cool Before Enjoying: Let the cookie cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before enjoying to allow it to firm up slightly while remaining soft inside.
Notes
- You can use a toaster oven or air fryer to bake this cookie if you prefer alternative equipment.
- Swap in dark chocolate, white chocolate, or add a few chopped nuts for flavor variations.
- For a chewier texture, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before baking.
