Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour 80g, measured by weight or spoon and sweep method
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients and Mix-ins
  • 1/4 cup butter Melted and slightly cooled (2oz)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar 66g
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 25g
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 3oz

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Medium bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone mat

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter and brown and granulated sugars. Add egg yolk and vanilla and whisk until well-combined. Stir in the flour mixture until just mixed and fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Drop dough by rounded spoonfuls (just under two ounces) onto your prepared cookie sheet. For the most perfectly round cookies, roll into a ball first. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, until the cookies just look set. Cool on the cookie sheet and enjoy.

Notes

If you roll the dough into balls before placing them on the sheet, the cookies will be rounder after baking.
