Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 small egg yolk (or 1 teaspoon milk for egg-free)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1.5 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the egg yolk (or milk). Mix well.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Place the dough onto a small piece of parchment paper or directly onto a small, lightly greased baking sheet. Shape it into a round cookie shape about 2 inches wide.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center looks slightly underdone.
Let the cookie cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
For a chewier cookie, slightly reduce the baking time.
If you do not have an oven, you can microwave the dough on a microwave-safe plate for 30 to 45 seconds on high power, watching closely.
Use a small cookie scoop or roll the dough into a ball for consistent results.
