Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Select a small oven-safe ramekin or single-serving ceramic dish.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter for 15-20 seconds until just softened. Do not overheat.
- Add brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly creamy.
- Incorporate the vanilla extract and egg yolk into the butter-sugar mixture, stirring until well combined and slightly glossy.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Grease your ramekin lightly with butter or cooking spray. Transfer the cookie dough into the ramekin, spreading it evenly and pressing gently to fill the dish.
- Place the ramekin on a small baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Look for golden edges and a slightly soft center.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. The cookie will continue to set during this time.
- Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream immediately before serving. The warm cookie will create a delightful contrast with the cold ice cream.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your single-serving deep dish cookie a la mode!
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and egg yolk are at room temperature for a smoother batter. This will help create a creamy texture that’s essential for the perfect cookie.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your dry and wet ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a tougher cookie, so be gentle!
- Watch the Bake Time: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your cookie as it bakes. You want golden edges with a slightly soft center for that perfect chewy texture.
- Personalize It: Feel free to customize your cookie! Add nuts, swap in different chocolate types, or even throw in some caramel bits for an extra treat.
- Serve Immediately: This cookie is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven with ice cream on top. The contrast of warm and cold is simply irresistible!
