These small batch chocolate chip cookies are soft, buttery, and loaded with melted chocolate. Made with simple ingredients and no chilling required, they’re the perfect treat for a cozy night in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup (60 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until just melted. Let cool for a minute.
  3. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until it forms a thick paste.
  4. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined and glossy.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Pour the flour mixture into the butter-sugar mixture. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips. Reserve a few chips to press onto the tops of the dough balls before baking.
  8. Scoop the dough into 5 to 6 evenly sized balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each). Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underdone and puffy.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

For best results, use a light-colored baking sheet. If you have time, let the scooped dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes for even better texture. Press extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a bakery-style look.
