2 Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies



What you need,

2 tbsp. butter, softened, I used salted
2 tbsp. firmly packed brown sugar
1 tbsp. granulated sugar
Pinch of kosher salt, l left this out because I used salted butter
¼ tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg yolk, save the white part for something else, I hear they freeze well.
¼ tsp. baking soda
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 heaping tbsp. chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper and set aside.

Stir together the butter, sugars, salt (if you are using) and vanilla until it comes together.

Add the egg yolk and stir until mixture gets a little light and fluffy.

Stir in baking soda and flour until combined. Finally stir in the chocolate chips.

Divide the dough into 2 balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. The cookies will spread out during cooking so put them about 6 inches apart.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until they edges are nicely browned and the centre looks soft but set.

Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
