Single Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie
Servings 2 -3 large cookies
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk (discard or save whites for another recipe)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, optional
- 1/2 cup white, all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons chocolate chips (we prefer milk chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a bowl, beat together the ROOM TEMPERATURE butter (if it is melted at all these cookies will be flat. Don't microwave it) with the brown and white sugar until creamy.
- Add in the vanilla extract, egg yolk, baking soda, and cornstarch. (Add 1/8 teaspoon salt here if using unsalted butter)
- Beat until just combined.
- Add in the flour and chocolate chips and beat until just combined.
- Form 3 evenly sized, large and tall balls of cookie dough
- Place the cookie sheet with cookie balls in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Remove and immediately bake for 9-14 minutes or until very lightly browned around the edges. (Cookies are always best slightly under-baked!)
- If desired (pretty appearance + more chocolate!), press a few additional chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies right after pulling them out of the oven.
