Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1–2 teaspoons milk (as needed)
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- â…› teaspoon baking soda
Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing thoroughly.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the all-purpose flour and baking soda into the wet mixture. Mix well until a dough forms. If the dough appears crumbly or dry, add milk one teaspoon at a time until it reaches a soft, pliable consistency.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips gently into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Shape the Cookie: Form the cookie dough into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten the dough ball to shape it into a cookie form.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cookie edges turn golden brown while the center remains soft and slightly underbaked for a chewy texture.
- Cool and Enjoy: Remove the cookie from the oven and allow it to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before eating. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- This recipe yields one large single-serving cookie perfect for a quick treat.
- Adjust the amount of milk to achieve the ideal dough consistency; too much milk will make the dough too sticky.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with nuts or other types of chocolate bits for variation.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
