Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1 Tbsp white granulated sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/4 tsp of baking soda
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp mini chocolate chips
  • ice cream for topping (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Have one 6-ounce ceramic ramekin ready.
  2. In a medium microwavable bowl, melt the butter (this took me about 30 seconds).
  3. Vigorously whisk in brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract for at least 1 minute. (Note: make sure you do this step! Otherwise you can wind up with grainy sugars in your cookie).
  4. Whisk in the yolk until blended.
  5. Mix in the salt, baking soda, and flour until well-combined.
  6. Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips. Mix until just combined, then transfer the batter into the ramekin.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes or until the top is firm + golden (the inside will still be slightly gooey).
  8. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve, topped with ice cream! And remember, the ramekin will be hot from the oven, so be careful with your fingers!

Notes

Whisk the butter and sugars for at least 1 minute to avoid a grainy texture. The ramekin will be very hot after baking; handle with care.
