  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Utensils

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Cookie scoop (optional)
  • Cooling rack

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
  5. Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough (or use a cookie scoop) and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently press down to flatten slightly.
  6. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through for even baking.
  7. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. Enjoy: Serve warm for maximum gooeyness or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
    Tip: For extra chewy texture, slightly underbake and let them cool on the tray to set.
