Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened room temperature
  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk discard white or save for another use
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp semisweet chocolate chips plus extra for topping

Notes

Storage: Best eaten fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days. Make-ahead: Prepare dough, shape into disc, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate up to 2 days; bake directly from fridge, adding 1–2 minutes to baking time. Variations: Use dark or milk chocolate chips, add a pinch of cinnamon, or substitute with chopped nuts (like almonds or pecans). For a gluten-free option, replace all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend.
