Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Granulated White Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon of firmly packed Dark Brown Sugar
  • 3 Drops of Vanilla Extract
  • Small Pinch of Kosher Salt
  • 1 Egg Yolk discard the egg white or save for different recipe
  • Scant 1/4 of All Purpose Flour slightly less than 1/4 of a cup
  • 2 heaping tablespoons of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips plus more for topping

Instructions

  • Start by melting your butter in the microwave. Butter should just be melted, not boiling.
  • Add sugars, vanilla and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Separate your egg and add the yolk only to your cup. Stir to combine.
  • Add flour, then stir again. Measure a scant, slightly less than full, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour.
  • Add the chocolate chips, and give a final stir. Now your mixture will look like cookie dough. Add a few chocolate chips to the top of the cookie dough.
  • Cook in microwave 40-60 seconds, start checking for doneness at 40 seconds. Mine takes 50 seconds. Do not cook past one minute, just like a regular cookie, this will continue cooking as it cools. If the cookie is dry or cake like, try less time.
  • Serve warm.
