Ingredients
1.5 tbsp butter (18g), melted
1 tbsp brown sugar, packed (13g)
1/2 tbsp white sugar (7g)
1/2 egg yolk (yes, this is mandatory!)
3 tbsp flour (25g)
1/8 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
Handful of chocolate chips or chunks (measure with your heart)
Optional: Sprinkle with flakey salt after baking
Instructions
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
Add the white and brown sugar, whisking for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Add half of an egg yolk and whisk for another minute until fully combined.
Sift in the flour, baking soda, and salt, then fold gently until the flour is almost combined.
Add your chocolate chips or chunks and fold until no streaks of flour are visible. Be careful not to overmix!
The batter will be slightly runny—don’t worry! Chill in the freezer for 10-15 minutes while preheating your oven to 375°F.
Form the dough into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are firm but the center is soft.
Optional: Sprinkle with flakey salt after baking.
Enjoy your warm, delicious cookie!
