Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup (75g) all-purpose flour, measured by weight or the spoon and level method
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt (a pinch)
- 3 tablespoons (42g) slightly melted unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon (70g) brown sugar
- 1½ tablespoons (20g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (40g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth before adding the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until fully incorporated, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, using about 1½ tablespoons for each cookie. For better shape, roll the dough into balls if desired. Bake for 9–12 minutes until the edges are set and centers appear soft. Allow cooling on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes will enhance flavor and texture.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
For a variation, add nuts or different types of chocolate chips.
