Description
This ooey gooey soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie for one is big enough to share but so good you’ll want it all to yourself!
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tablespoons (48 g) all purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon cornstarch
- pinch of kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to mix together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla until well incorporated, about 20-30 seconds.
- Add the egg and mix until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until combined. Stop when a few streaks of flour remain.
