📝 Ingredients (for about 8–10 cookies)
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) white sugar
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips (or chunks)
👩🍳 Quick Instructions
- In a bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar.
- Add egg and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop spoonfuls onto a microwave-safe plate (lined with parchment).
- Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds – 2 minutes until just set.
- Let cool for 1 minute (they’ll firm up).
🥄 Detailed Method
- Mix Wet Ingredients – Always start with butter and sugars; melting the butter makes the dough come together fast.
- Add Dry Ingredients – Sift flour with baking soda and salt for even texture.
- Combine Gently – Overmixing makes cookies tough; mix until dough forms.
- Shaping/Formation – Use a spoon or ice cream scoop for round, even cookies.
- Cooking – Microwave (fastest method) or bake at 180°C (350°F) for 5–6 minutes if you prefer oven-baked.
- Cooling – Letting them rest ensures the center firms up while staying gooey.
