Single Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie
A single, large & delicious chocolate chip cookie.
Ingredients
- 28 g unsalted butter (2 tbsp.)
- 25 g light brown sugar (2 tbsp.)
- 12 g granulated sugar (1 tbsp.)
- 2 tsp. milk of choice
- ¼ tsp. vanilla
- 40 g all purpose flour (⅓ c.)
- ⅛ tsp. baking soda
- ⅛ tsp. salt
- 40 g semi-sweet chocolate chips (¼ c.)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the butter to a small saute pan or saucepan. Set the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter bubbles up, then turns amber in color (this took me ~2 minutes.)
- Pour the brown butter into a small mixing bowl and set it to chill in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Once the butter has chilled, mix in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar, followed by the milk and vanilla.
- Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix together just until a few flour streaks remain, then mix in the chocolate chips just until no flour streaks remain.
- Set the cookie dough in the freezer to chill for 5 minutes.
- Scoop out all the cookie dough and roll it into one large ball. Top the cookie with extra chocolate chips as desired. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the middle of the cookie no longer looks “wet.”
- Allow the cookie to rest on the hot baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool (or just before enjoying it warm.) Serve and enjoy!

You can separate the dough into 2 dough balls to make 2 more "normal-sized" cookies - they will likely take ~12 minutes to bake this way.
The #1 culprit for cookies that are too thick, puffy or dry is adding in too much flour. I highly, *highly* recommend always using a kitchen scale for the best, most consistent results. However - if you don't have access to one, here is how to properly measure flour: Fluff up your flour with a fork, then carefully scoop it into your measuring cup and level off the cup with a knife.
