Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two
Servings: 2 large cookies
Calories: 663cal
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter mostly, but not fully melted
- 3 Tbsp light brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- ¾ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 6 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
- Add the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla to a medium bowl, and use a fork or whisk to stir until smooth.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, and stir until well-combined.
- Stir in 5 tablespoons chocolate chips.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal balls and place them on the prepared baking tray.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough balls.
- Bake until the cookies are light golden, about 12 to 14 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking tray.
Notes
- Be careful not to over-bake the cookies because they’ll harden more as they cool. These cookies should look light golden on the outside, but should still look a touch doughy in the center when you take them out of the oven.
- You can easily split the dough into 4 equal balls instead of two, but you will need to lower the baking time. I would check them at the 7-8 minute mark for doneness.
