Tips for Making An Individual Chocolate Chip Cookie.

Measure ingredients precisely. If you add in too much or too little of something it will effect the texture of your cookie much more so than in a regular full batch.

Mix by hand. Because the volume of ingredients is so much less, It is easier and quicker to mix by hand than using a mixer

Use softened butter. To make incorporating the sugar easier, I use the back of my spoon so smash and soften the butter before adding in the sugar.

Egg Yolk. In this recipe we only use the egg yolk. Using the entire egg makes the cookie taste too eggy. Save the egg white to throw into your scrambled eggs or an omelet.

Chocolate Chips. You can use any flavor of chips you like. My favorite combo is semi sweet and white chocolate chips together.

How to Make One Chocolate Chip Cookie

• Combine sugars into softened butter and stir to combine.
• Add in egg yolk and vanilla.

• Add in dry ingredients and chocolate chips and stir just until combined. Don’t overmix.

• Form cookie dough into a disc and slighlty flatten it.
• Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Add a few extra chocolate chips into the top of the dough for a prettier cookie.

• Bake at 350 degrees F. for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned around the edges. I prefer the cookie slightly underbaked in the middle.

I think the texture of this cookie is perfect, it’s slightly crispy on the edges and nice and chewy in the middle. And, there is just enough for me! Actually the cookie is a good size so if you are feeling generous, you could break it in two and share.
