Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 1 to 2 minutes or until well combined.
Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until fully combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. Then, mix in the semi-sweet chocolate chips on low-speed until fully incorporated into the cookie dough.
Cover tightly and transfer to the freezer to chill for 10 minutes.

I just tried this recipe today. Do you have an altitude adjustment for your recipe? I live in Colorado
A great recipe for small batch chocolate chip cookies. I made them for Valentines Day and received compliments on it. I used premium dark chocolate added a tablespoon of shredded unsweetened coconut and pecans turned out perfect.
I wanted this to turn out good (and had no doubts that it wouldn't) but somehow mine turned out completely flat... Not sure where I went wrong. Possibly didn't mix the dry ingredients properly. :/ any suggestions
People weren’t exaggerating. Delicious cookies! I would say this is definitely the best small batch cookie recipe. I’ve been able to find. But now I’m wishing I had made more cookies lol
Loved this recipe!! Halved the butter and they were still delicious.
This is the best cookie recipe ever! I actually doubled it but the cookies turned out perfect perfect perfect! Thank you so much! I made it with mini chocolate chips and I liked it a lot
I think the recipe is perfect the way it is but you can adjust it however you like it
Came out so soft and chewy
I have uses this recipe for years and it is always amazing. I will say that i recently spaced out and used whole eggs instead of just the yolks and the came out spongy. I liked them but maybe one whole egg and one yolk would work better.
Did you make this recipe?
