Description

This Single-Serving Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is perfect for when you want a quick, delicious treat just for yourself. With minimal ingredients and simple steps, you can enjoy a warm, freshly baked chocolate chip cookie in just 15 minutes. The cookie offers a perfect balance of sweet, melty chocolate with a soft and slightly chewy texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a small bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy to create a light, airy base for your cookie.
  3. Add Vanilla and Egg Yolk: Mix in the vanilla extract and egg yolk until they are fully combined, which adds richness and helps bind the ingredients.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the dough for pockets of melty chocolate.
  6. Shape the Cookie: Form the dough into a ball, place it on the prepared baking sheet, and gently flatten it slightly to encourage even baking.
  7. Bake: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the center is just set, for a perfect balance of a soft center and crisp edges.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes so it finishes setting and is safe to handle, then enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a softer cookie, slightly underbake it and let it finish setting as it cools on the baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top before baking to enhance flavor complexity.
  • For a thicker cookie, bake the dough in a small ramekin instead of shaping it on a baking sheet.
