Make if you have: Flour, salt, eggs, butter, chocolate chips
Nothing quite compares to freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies. This is a quick and easy recipe for when you’re craving something warm and comforting.
1 ½ cups flour
1 ¼ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup unsalted butter, divided
1 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips or coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate
Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Next, take ½ cup of the butter and place it in a pan over medium heat; continuously stirring until it melts and then browns (around four minutes). Remove the browned butter from the heat and let it sit for one minute before adding the remaining ¼ cup of butter, cubed, into the mixture. Mix until the added butter has melted as well.
Next, add the brown and granulated sugars to the butter. Stir until smooth, and then add the egg and egg yolks and whisk for around 30 seconds. Afterward, add vanilla extract. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry just until thoroughly combined, and then fold in the chocolate. Spoon the dough into balls of about three tablespoons in volume, and place them on baking sheets lined in parchment. Bake until golden brown, for around 8-10 minutes. Enjoy!
