Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (about 70 grams)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 60 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second bursts, stirring between each, until just melted. Let it cool until warm to the touch but not hot.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined and glossy.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Fold with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips gently. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
  8. Scoop 6 equal portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes. At 9 minutes, edges should be golden brown and centers slightly underdone and puffy.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

For softer cookies, bake for 9 minutes. For crispier cookies, bake for 11 minutes. Let the dough rest for 2-3 minutes if too sticky to handle. Use room temperature egg yolk for best results. Measure flour by spooning into the cup and leveling off.
