A quick and easy recipe for soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies made in a small batch, perfect for fresh enjoyment without leftovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/3 cup (70 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy. Add vanilla extract and egg yolk, mixing until creamy and slightly thickened.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Chill the dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes (optional but recommended).
  7. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons (about 1.5 tablespoons or 22 g) of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft and slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps control spreading and intensifies flavor. Use melted butter cooled slightly to avoid cooking the egg yolk. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender. Use quality chocolate chips for best melt and flavor. If cookies spread too much, chill dough longer or dust baking sheet lightly with flour.
