Equipment
- Spoon or Fork
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened or melted ($0.12)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar ($0.01)
- ½ tablespoon granulated sugar ($0.01)
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract ($0.01)
- 1 tablespoon egg white or milk ($0.01)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour ($0.01)
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda ($0.01)
- 1 pinch salt ($0.01)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips ($0.05)
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the base. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add wet ingredients. Stir in the vanilla and egg white or milk until fully combined.
- Add dry ingredients. Sprinkle in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in chips. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape into a mound or lightly flatten. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the center is just set.
- Cool. Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes before eating.
Notes
- Soft center. Slightly underbake for a chewy middle.
- Egg-free option. Milk works well in place of egg white.
- Quick method. Microwave on high for 40 to 60 seconds if preferred.
- Cooling time. The cookie continues to set as it cools.
- Chocolate boost. Press a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Storage. Wrap and store at room temperature for up to 2 days.
