3 tablespoons Unsalted or Salted Butter Substitution: Use coconut oil for a vegan alternative.
3 tablespoons Light Brown Sugar Firmly packed
1.5 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Optional, omit for simplicity.
1 large Egg Yolk Binds ingredients together.
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda Acts as a leavening agent.
1/2 teaspoon Cornstarch Optional, omit if not available.
1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
6 tablespoons Chocolate Chips Substitution: Use nuts or dried fruits.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of butter until smooth. Allow to cool.
Combine the cooled melted butter with 3 tablespoons of light brown sugar and 1.5 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until creamy.
Stir in 1 large egg yolk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully blended.
Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch (if using), and fold together.
Gradually add 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour and 6 tablespoons of chocolate chips. Mix until a uniform dough forms.
Scoop 1/4 cup of dough, shape it into a ball, and place it on the baking sheet. Freeze for 5-10 minutes.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and center is soft. Optional: press more chocolate chips on top before baking.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before enjoying.

Optional: Try adding a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top right after baking for enhanced flavor.
