Single-Serving Best Chocolate Chip Cookie

Single-Serving Best Chocolate Chip Cookie

1 large, thin cookie (about 5–6 inches wide)

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• 1 tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tbsp white sugar

• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp beaten egg (crack one egg, beat it, and use just 1 tbsp)

• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour

• Pinch of baking soda (just a tiny pinch, like 1/16 tsp)

• Pinch of salt

• 2 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus a few extra for the top)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a small bowl:

• Melt the butter (microwave 15–20 sec).

• Stir in brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla, and beaten egg.

• Mix until smooth and glossy.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients

Add in:

• Flour

• Tiny pinch of baking soda

• Pinch of salt

Mix just until combined. Don’t overmix — a few streaks of flour are okay.

Step 4: Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently stir in the 2 tbsp chocolate chips. Save a few for pressing on top.

Step 5: Shape & Bake

• Scoop the dough onto the parchment-lined sheet.

• Flatten it slightly with your fingers — it should be about 1/2" thick.

• Add a few extra chocolate chips on top for that bakery-style look.

Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center looks just barely set.

Step 6: Cool & Enjoy

Let cool for 5–10 minutes to firm up and get chewy.

Devour with zero regrets.
