Perfectly Gooey Every Time

The secret to achieving that gooey, melty center lies in the careful balance of ingredients. Using just the right amount of butter and sugars ensures that the cookie remains chewy, while the added chocolate chips elevate the experience with decadent bursts of chocolate. This cookie is not only satisfying but also a delightful treat that showcases the rich flavors of chocolate without being overwhelming.

Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven, but this recipe is forgiving. A few extra minutes can make all the difference in texture, so keep an eye on your cookie as it bakes to achieve that perfect gooeyness without sacrificing the chewy edges.

Customize Your Cookie Experience

One of the best things about this single serve cookie is its versatility. While the base of rich chocolate is irresistible on its own, feel free to get creative! Add a sprinkle of sea salt for a touch of contrast, or mix in your favorite nuts for extra crunch. You can even switch up the type of chocolate chips, using dark, milk, or white chocolate to suit your palate.

If you’re feeling adventurous, consider adding a dollop of peanut butter or a swirl of caramel before baking. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to tailor this delicious treat to fit any craving or occasion.

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious cookie:

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Add the Egg Yolk

Add the egg yolk to the mixture and stir until smooth.

Combine the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring to combine.

Fold in the Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Bake the Cookie

Transfer the cookie dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and shape it into a round cookie. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set.

Cool and Enjoy

Let the cookie cool for a few minutes before enjoying it warm!

Enjoy your freshly baked cookie with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!

Tips for the Best Cookie

To ensure the best texture and flavor, make sure your butter is melted but not too hot when mixing with the sugars. This helps prevent the cookie from spreading too much during baking, giving you that thick, chewy consistency we all love.

If you're a fan of texture, consider chilling the dough for a few minutes before baking. This small step can enhance the chewiness of your cookie and create a more complex flavor profile.

Storing Your Cookie

If you find yourself with leftover cookie dough, you can easily store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just cover it tightly to prevent drying out. When you're ready for another treat, simply scoop and bake as you normally would.

For those who enjoy their cookies warm, you can also freeze the baked cookie. Simply wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container. When you're ready to enjoy, pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up and restore that gooey texture.

Pairing Suggestions

To truly elevate your cookie experience, consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The warm, gooey cookie and cold ice cream create an irresistible contrast that will delight your taste buds.

For a warm beverage option, a cup of coffee or a tall glass of milk makes for the perfect accompaniment. Both help to balance the rich chocolate flavors of the cookie, enhancing your overall indulgence.
