Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 ounce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon whisked egg see notes
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1.67 ounces
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
2 pinches of salt
2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus more for topping the cookie if desired)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the butter to a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 10-second intervals until the butter is very soft, but not melted.
Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and cream together with a fork until totally combined. Once combined, cream with the fork another 30-60 seconds.
Add the whisked egg and the vanilla extract into the dough. Use the fork to incorporate completely, but do not overmix.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. Gently mix in the chocolate chips.
Use your hands to shape the dough into a ball. Flatten the cookie dough ball so it's about a 1" high disk. You can add additional chocolate chips into the dough now (or after baking) to make it really chocolate-y and indulgent!
Bake cookie about 18-20 minutes until desired done-ness. The center should be set, but still quite gooey. The edges will be lightly golden brown.
Allow the cookie to cool before digging in, at least a few minutes. Feel free to top it with ice cream for an incredible dessert.
The cooled cookie can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days in an air-tight container if you want to bake it in advance or save some for later. Enjoy!

Notes

What About the Whisked Egg?

To get the egg for this recipe, you will crack one egg into a small bowl and whisk it thoroughly with a fork. Measure out 1 tablespoon of egg for your recipe. Save the remaining egg in the fridge for other single cookie recipes or add it to a batch of scrambled eggs.
