eat :: chocolate chip cookie duo

 

after i posted this recipe for the single gal's chocolate peanut butter cake my girl, wak, gave me this recipe to make only two chocolate chip cookies.  i love the idea of making a small dessert when you feel like something sweet.

at first i was a little worried these cookies wouldn't turn out a good as a whole batch does.  but there were no problems here.  these were amazing!  and you could actually make 4 small cookies out of this recipe instead of 2 larger cookies.

2 tablespoons of butter

2 firmly packed tablespoons of dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon of granulated sugar

Pinch of kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

1 egg yolk – discard or set aside egg white for a different use

1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

1/4 cup of all-purpose flour

3 heaping tablespoons of semisweet chocolate chips

 

preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.

in a microwave-safe measuring cup, heat butter just until it starts to melt and is softened. blend softened butter, sugars, salt, and vanilla together by hand. add egg yolk and stir again. add baking soda and flour and stir until combined. then stir in chocolate chips.

form cookie dough into two balls and place on baking sheet. the cookies will spread during baking, so make sure they are several inches apart. bake for about 8-12 minutes until edges are golden brown. allow to cool.
