Servings 8 small cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (56g) salted butter, melted
  • 2/3 cup (132g) light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup (6 oz) chocolate chips or chopped chocolate , (I like to mix dark and milk or dark and white)
  • pinch sea salt flakes

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F (177C) convection OR 325F (163C) conventional and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, microwave the butter for 20-30 seconds, just until it's melted (if it gets super hot, then let it cool a little bit).

  4. Add in the egg and vanilla and whisk until it's completely smooth.

  5. Add the flour, salt and baking powder and fold the cookie dough just until there are a few streaks left of flour.
    1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour spooned and leveled, 1/4 tsp fine sea salt, 1 tsp baking powder
  6. Fold in the chocolate, just until they're evenly dispersed.
    1 cup (6 oz) chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (I like to mix dark and milk or dark and white)
  7. Split cookie dough into 8 small cookies, four per cookie sheet, and bake one sheet on the middle rack for 10 minutes on convection or 12 minutes on conventional, just until the edges are starting to brown and the center is puffed.
  8. Remove them from the oven, give the pan a quick tap on the counter and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes before transferring off the cookie sheet.
  9. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and enjoy warm!
