Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1–2 teaspoons milk (as needed)
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and baking soda. If the dough feels crumbly, add milk one teaspoon at a time to reach a soft, pliable consistency suitable for shaping.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to ensure every bite has melty chocolate.
- Shape the Cookie: Form the dough into a ball and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten the ball to shape the cookie, but take care not to press too thin.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown while the center remains soft and slightly underbaked for gooeyness.
- Cool and Enjoy: Remove the cookie from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Adjust milk quantity gradually to avoid overly wet dough.
- Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven; check for golden edges as a sign of doneness.
- Use parchment paper or lightly grease the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Serve warm to enjoy the melty chocolate chips and soft texture.
