Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter , melted and cooled
  • 33 g (2 tablespoons) light brown sugar or dark brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 30 g (3 tablespoons) all-purpose flour
  • 1/16 teaspoon (a pinch) baking soda
  • 1 large egg yolk , room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons mix-ins such as white chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, or any chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit of your preference, optional
  • 1/16 teaspoon (a pinch) kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Microwave the butter on high in an 8 oz microwave-safe mug until melted, 20 to 35 seconds. Tilt the mug so that the butter greases the sides. Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and egg yolk and mix with a fork until combined.
  • Add the flour and baking soda, mix until just combined, fold in two-thirds of the chocolate chips, and then sprinkle the remaining chips on the top.
  • Microwave on high until the cookie is puffed and springs back when gently pressed for about 45 to 50 seconds, do not overcook, or the chocolate chip cookie will be dry! Let it cool for a few minutes before eating after removing it from the microwave.
