This small-batch recipe yields six perfect, chewy chocolate chip cookies with crispy edges and melty centers. Made with simple ingredients and no chilling required, it’s the ultimate comfort food for a cozy night in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup (60g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts until just melted. Let it cool for a minute or two.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until smooth and looks like wet sand.
  4. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and slightly paler in color.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Pour the flour mixture into the butter-sugar mixture. Fold gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon just until no streaks of flour remain.
  7. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop six equal mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake on the center rack for 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers are still slightly puffy and pale.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a gooier cookie, bake for 9 minutes. For a crispier cookie, bake for 11 minutes. If your cookies spread too much, the butter was too hot; chill the dough for 10 minutes before baking. For extra crispy edges, use a silicone baking mat.
