This cookie is
Quick and easy: Thirty minutes from start to finish, mostly hands off time.
Soft and chewy: This cookie bakes up with crisp edges and a soft and chewy texture throughout.
Delicious: A buttery cookie with flavors of brown sugar, vanilla, and chocolate.
Fun: The size of this cookie makes it a super fun treat to brighten someone’s day (even your own!).
Ingredients needed
Butter: I prefer unsalted butter. If you use salted butter just eliminate the added salt.
Brown sugar and granulated sugar: For sweetness and chewiness.
Vanilla: A splash of vanilla extract rounds out the flavors.
Egg yolk: Since this is a small quantity of ingredients you only need a yolk, not a whole egg. Reserve the white for another use.
Flour: Regular all-purpose flour for classic cookie taste and texture.
Baking soda: Just a bit to help the cookie rise.
Chocolate: Use chocolate chips, chunks, or (my favorite) a chopped chocolate bar.
