Six soft-centered chocolate chip cookies made with one egg yolk.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon cornstarch
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  • With a mixer, beat the butter and both sugars for about 1 minute. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla.
  • In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Add it to the butter mixture on low speed, stopping as soon as a dough forms.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon mounds and set them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are still soft. Let them sit on the pan for 5 minutes, then move them to a rack.
