A small batch of cookies are just what you need when you have a persistent cookie craving, but don't want to make a huge batch. They make just 6 cookies, so you won't have an entire batch of 20 cookies staring at you on your kitchen counter. They do require some chill time, but I promise it's worth it! They bake up with a perfectly chewy texture, soft centers, and gooey chocolate. So so good.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Your Butter for Depth 🧈Toast your unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, then cool completely before mixing; this adds incredible richness that elevates small-batch cookies to bakery quality.
- Use Egg Yolk Strategically 🥚The single egg yolk creates that signature chewy texture, but ensure it's at room temperature and whisk it with sugar for 1-2 minutes to incorporate air before adding to your wet ingredients.
- Chill Time Creates Superior Texture ❄️Don't skip the chill time—refrigerating the dough for at least 2 hours (or up to 48 hours) allows the flour to fully hydrate and flavors to develop, resulting in cookies with crispy edges and chewy centers.
- Toast Your Chocolate Chips 🍫Lightly toast your chocolate chips in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to the dough; this deepens their flavor and prevents them from melting during mixing.
- Bake Until Slightly Underdone 🍪Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked, then let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes—they'll continue cooking and achieve perfect gooey centers.
