    Last night after date night, I came home and my husband and I were craving some chocolate chip cookies. I didn't want to go through the hassle of making an entire batch so I just whipped up this small batch and he was so surprised how fast we could make homemade single-serving chocolate chip cookies.

    How to make the Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe for Two Servings:

    1. Start by melting butter in the microwave -- just until barely melted. You don't want it to be boiling so I suggest about 30 seconds. Stir in brown sugar, and sugar and mix well until completely combined and smooth. This is an important step as you want the warm butter to dissolve the sugars so take your time with this step.
    2. Add in one egg yolk and vanilla. Since this is a small recipe, we are only using an egg yolk instead of an entire egg. It helps to create a chewy texture.
    3. Stir in flour and baking soda. If using salted butter, you don't have to add extra salt but if you are using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt for flavor.
    4. Fold in your favorite type of chocolate chips --- milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, or dark chocolate or a combination. My favorite types of chocolate chips are Guittard and Ghirardelli. I also love to throw in some chunks of chocolate from the Trader Joe's Pound Plus Bar.
    5. Bake just until lightly golden. Don't overbake as the cookies will continue to bake after being removed from the oven.

    Equipment

    • mixing bowl set
    • measuring cups and spoons
    • spatula set
    • baking sheet
    • parchment paper baking sheets
    • turner
    • cookie scoop

    Ingredients
      

    • 4 Tablespoons Salted Butter (melted)
    • 4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
    • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
    • 1 Egg Yolk
    • ¼ teaspoon Vanilla
    • ½ cup Flour
    • ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
    • ⅓ cup Chocolate Chips

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat butter for about 30 seconds in the microwave until melted. Stir in brown sugar and sugar and stir well until the sugars begin to dissolve and the mixture becomes smooth.
    • Add egg yolk and vanilla and stir well.
    • Fold in flour and baking soda and stir together. Fold in chocolate chips.
    • Drop cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. This will make two to three cookies, depending on size. I suggest a light-colored baking sheet for all of my cookie recipes. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Don't overbake as the cookies will continue to bake on the warm cookie sheet once removed from the oven.

    Notes

    If using unsalted butter, please add ⅛ teaspoon of salt.

      I made these and it’s the first recipe I’ve ever made that didn’t spread and join up! I haven’t tryed one yet but when I do I am going to be putting some ice cream in the middle of them both, they came out love and round despite not refrigerating them so I was chuffed at that ! 💞

        Okay follow up from yesterdays comment. We LOVED these cookies!! It was the perfect little treat. And honestly it’s one of the best cookies I’ve ever had. I loved the flavor, I loved how gooey they were, and they were the perfect size! It made three decent sized cookies. I think I’m making them again tonight, to be honest. Thanks for sharing!

      I just made these tonight and they were great! I made them gluten and dairy-free and the flavor was amazing 😊 the only thing I’ll say is that they did spread quite a bit, so I ended up with 4 massive cookies, but I’m not complaining lol. When I make them again I’ll probably refrigerate the dough first to stop them from spreading as much, but this was a great quick recipe. Thank you! 🥰

      I have just tried your recipe and It was awesome👍 I was never successful in making full batches for everyone but this was quick and easy to bake. Thanks alot for sharing it with Pakistan 🙂. I am gonna try your other recipes soon too. It took me little bit more time to bake because of gas oven but it went well.

      Oh boy! Im in trouble now. My husband and I are empty nesters and sometimes crave chocolate chip cookies, but I don't want a huge batch sitting around. Then you come up with a recipe for two. I tried it and that is why I'm in trouble. The cookies were fabulous! Thank you. (I think)

        Oh no!!! I might have been better off not knowing that you made the perfect one serving chocolate chip cookie recipe!
        It’s like knowing I can make a cake in a mug!
        In all seriousness, this receipt is perfect for me, because if I make a full batch, then my husband and I just eat all of them until they are gone. This way we can control ourselves a bit better. 🙂
