Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter 1/2 a stick
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 heaping cup chocolate chips I use semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and then set aside.
- Add butter, sugars, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to a medium sized mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat over medium speed until nice and creamy, about 1 minute.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to butter/sugar mixture, beating over low speed. Scrape the bowl then beat over medium speed for another 30 seconds until well-combined.
- Add chocolate chips to the dough and then stir to combine. Drop dough by rounded heaping tablespoons onto prepared baking sheet, about 2-3 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes (mine are ready at 10 minutes), then remove from oven and allow cookies to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy!
Notes
- Line the sheet pan with parchment paper. This will help prevent the cookies from burning on the bottom and sticking to the pan. It also makes clean up much easier.
- Use a cookie scoop to help scoop out the dough. You can also use a coffee scoop. I use a 2 Tablespoon coffee scoop to scoop and mold my dough. This helps keep all of your chocolate chip cookies uniform in shape and size so that they will bake evenly.
- Why just an egg yolk? This recipe only requires an egg yolk due to its scaled down volume. A whole egg would be too much moisture for the amount of ingredients used.
- Store prepared cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.
- Freezing instructions: To freeze just the dough, place your prepared cookie dough into a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw the dough in the fridge before baking as directed.
- To freeze fully baked cookies, place in a freezer safe container or zipper freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter before enjoying.
