Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 spoon or flexible spatula
- 1 medium (2 tbsp) cookie scoop
- 1 large baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
Ingredients
- 5 tbsp (71 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp (25 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk (US), room temperature
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (90 g) all purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ½ - ¾ (70 - 105 g) semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg yolk and vanilla extract together until well combined.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well to combine.
- Fold in the chocolate chips. Some chips may not mix fully into the chocolate chip cookie dough due to the melted butter.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of chocolate chip cookie dough onto the lined baking sheet. Top with any loose chocolate chips.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and are lightly golden brown. Cool the cookies on the hot baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
Store baked cookies: These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 - 3 days.
Quick room temperature egg: Heat a cup full of water for 1 minute in the microwave. Drop an egg into the hot water for 1 minute. Remove from the water and now you have a room temperature egg. This recipe requires one large egg yolk.
Make 6 cookies: If you would like 6 chocolate chip cookies, simply use a large 3 tablespoon (45 ml) sized cookie scoop (or divide the dough into 6 large dough balls). Bake the large cookies for 14 - 16 minutes.
