Helpful Tips for the Best Cookie

To achieve the perfect texture for your cookie, ensure that your butter is softened but not melted. This step is crucial for creating a creamy base that holds the cookie together while still allowing it to spread slightly during baking. If you forget to take your butter out ahead of time, you can cut it into small cubes and microwave it for just a few seconds to speed up the softening process.

Another tip for enhancing the flavor of your cookie is to use high-quality chocolate chips. The better the chocolate, the richer the flavor of your cookie will be. Opt for semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for a more intense chocolate experience, or mix in some white chocolate chips for a contrast that balances the rich cocoa flavors.

Ingredients

For the Cookie

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Instructions

Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a bowl, mix the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract and egg yolk until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.

Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.

Bake the Cookie

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the dough onto the prepared sheet and shape it into a cookie. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

Cool and Enjoy

Allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Enjoy warm!

Storing Your Cookie

If you happen to have any leftovers, storing your single serve cookie is simple. Allow the cookie to cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two days, but for optimal freshness, consider refrigerating it. Just be sure to let it warm up a bit before enjoying for the best texture.

If you want to enjoy your cookie later, you can also freeze the dough before baking. Simply scoop the cookie dough onto a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the cookie dough balls to a freezer-safe bag or container. When you're ready for a treat, just pop one in the oven straight from the freezer; you may need to add a minute or two to the baking time.

Why Baking is Therapeutic

Baking can be a wonderfully therapeutic activity that allows you to unwind and express your creativity. The act of mixing ingredients, watching them transform in the oven, and finally enjoying your creation can provide a sense of accomplishment and joy. It serves as a perfect escape from the daily grind, allowing you to focus on the present moment and enjoy the process.

Moreover, the aromas that fill your kitchen while baking can evoke warm memories and create a cozy atmosphere. The smell of chocolate cookies baking is often associated with comfort and happiness, making it a delightful experience for both you and anyone lucky enough to share in your treat.
