Scale

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (or mix-ins of choice)

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Mix in egg yolk and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt just until incorporated.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips or desired mix-ins.
  6. Scoop dough into 5–6 balls and place on prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly soft.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Do not overbake—cookies will continue to set as they cool. You can swap chocolate chips for M&Ms, chopped nuts, or sprinkles.
