This little cookie is a favorite in my kitchen because it satisfies those late night chocolate cravings without leaving a dozen cookies sitting on the counter. It is soft, gooey, and packed with plenty of cocoa flavor.

My best advice is to use good quality chocolate chips and do not overbake it. You want the edges to be firm but the center should stay nice and soft.

๐Ÿงบ Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 4 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons semi sweet chocolate chips

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸณInstructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk the melted butter with the white sugar and brown sugar until smooth.

  3. 3

    Stir in the vanilla extract and the egg yolk until the mixture is well combined.

  4. 4

    Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix gently until a soft dough forms.

  5. 5

    Fold in the chocolate chips.

  6. 6

    Scoop the dough onto your prepared baking sheet and shape it into a thick disc.

  7. 7

    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set and the center still looks slightly soft.

  8. 8

    Let the cookie cool on the tray for at least 5 minutes to firm up before you take that first bite.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

Serve this warm with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a decadent treat. If you have leftovers, keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
