These thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies are made in a small batch, perfect for when you need a cozy treat without committing to a full dozen. Quick to make with no chill time required, they deliver a warm, comforting bite every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (57g)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (38g)
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed (38g)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (64g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (60g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 20-second bursts until just melted. Let cool for 1 minute.
  3. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until the mixture looks like wet sand.
  4. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and slightly thickened, about 20 seconds.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 3 inches apart. Roll into balls if desired.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers look slightly underdone and puffy.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Make sure the melted butter is warm, not hot, to avoid cooking the egg yolk. Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender. For a sea salt finish, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top right after baking.
