For an extra touch, drizzle some chocolate syrup or sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top for a gourmet finish.

Ingredients
Cookie Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the egg yolk and mix well.

In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Bake the Cookie
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the cookie dough onto the sheet and shape it into a ball.

Serve with a glass of milk for the ultimate treat!
Tips for the Best Cookie
To ensure your cookie turns out perfectly every time, measure your ingredients accurately. Baking is a science, and even small discrepancies can affect the final product. Use a kitchen scale if possible, or make sure to level off your measuring cups for dry ingredients.
Another tip is to keep an eye on the baking time. Ovens can vary, so check your cookie a minute or two before the suggested baking time. You want the edges to be set while the center remains soft and gooey. This balance is key to achieving that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Storing Leftovers
If you somehow have leftover cookie (though we doubt it!), store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It should stay fresh for a couple of days. However, if you prefer your cookie warm, you can always pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy that freshly baked taste again.
For those who love meal prepping, you can also prepare the cookie dough in advance. Portion it out into balls, freeze them on a baking sheet, and then transfer the frozen dough balls to a zip-top bag. When cravings hit, simply bake the frozen dough straight from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.

Absolutely! Dark chocolate chips will enhance the chocolate flavor even more.
→ Can I double this recipe?
Yes, just multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you want but keep the baking time the same.
