Print Recipe

These quick and easy small-batch chocolate chip cookies are ready in about 20 minutes with no chilling required. They deliver crispy edges, soft centers, and are perfect for one or two people.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer on medium speed. Scrape down the sides halfway through.
  3. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until just combined, about 15 seconds.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed or fold with a rubber spatula until just combined, with a few streaks of flour remaining.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Portion the dough into 6 equal balls, each about 1.5 tablespoons. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake on the middle rack for 9-11 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers look slightly underdone and puffy.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature butter. Do not overmix the dough. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after baking. For thicker, chewier cookies, chill the dough balls for 30 minutes before baking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
