These small-batch chocolate chip cookies are quick, easy, and require no chilling. They come out perfectly golden on the edges, soft and chewy in the center, with pools of melted chocolate in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (96 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch for topping
  • 1/2 cup (90 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Let it cool for about 2 minutes.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and packed light brown sugar for about 30 seconds until smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Whisk in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until fully combined and glossy.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  8. Scoop 6 to 8 equal portions of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underdone and puffy.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

Melted butter should be warm but not hot to avoid cooking the egg yolk. Do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. For make-ahead, freeze dough balls and bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to bake time.
