erfect single serving chocolate chip cookies
ingredients | makes four medium sized cookies (two servings)
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of white sugar
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 1 egg yolk (save or discard the white)
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 2 tablespoons (or more or less) chocolate chips
instructions
- preheat your oven to 350 degrees. line a baking sheet with parchment paper for limited clean up. (i’m telling you - i was never a believer in this ‘parchment paper’ stuff, but it is a game changer.)
- melt your butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds, until partially melted but not steaming. let the melted butter sit while you do the next step.
- mix together your brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt.
- mix in your cooled melted butter.
- mix in your egg yolk.
- now you can mix in your dry ingredients. mix in the flour and baking soda into your wet mixture.
- finally, pour in your chocolate chips to your heart’s content. (who’s counting tablespoons anyway?)
- place on lined baking sheet in heaping tablespoon scoops. this should yield you 4 cookies.
- bake for 6-8 minutes, until golden brown around the edges.
- enjoy!
