Keyword: chocolate chip cookies, dessert, small batch
Servings: 2
Ingredients
2TablespoonsSalted Butter, softened to room temperature
1TablespoonGranulated Sugar
2TablespoonsDark Brown Sugar, packed
1LargeEgg Yolk
¼ TeaspoonBaking Soda
⅛TeaspoonSalt
¼TeaspoonPure Vanilla Extract
⅓CupAll Purpose Flour
¼CupSemi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Place the butter, sugars, egg yolk, baking soda, salt, and vanilla in a small bowl. Mix well for 30 seconds or until smooth and slightly fluffy. Fold in the flour until combined, and then fold in the chocolate chips.
Divide the dough into two equal size balls {you can measure if you like but I always eyeball it}. Place the dough balls in the freezer while you preheat the oven, around 3-5 minutes.
Bake the cookies at 375° for 11-13 minutes or until golden. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies will fully set in the middle as they cool. If you do have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. Enjoy!
