Ingredients
Scale
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
5 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth.
Whisk in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop 6 equal mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underdone.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For gooey centers, remove the cookies from the oven when the edges are set but the middle still looks soft.
If you prefer slightly thicker cookies, chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking.
This recipe yields 6 medium cookies or 4 large bakery-style cookies.
