Warm Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup butter, browned (Use while still very warm—almost hot, but not boiling.)
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• 0.25 tsp salt
• chocolate chips (Measure with your heart.)

Steps

1. 1

   Brown the butter in a pan. While it is still very warm—almost hot, but not boiling—pour it directly over the brown sugar and granulated sugar.

2. 2

   Whisk the warm butter and sugars until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Using the butter while it is still warm helps create a thinner, crispier cookie.

3. 3

   Let the mixture cool for just 1–2 minutes, until it is no longer hot enough to cook the egg.

4. 4

   Whisk in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.

5. 5

   Fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined.

6. 6

   Fold in the chocolate chips.

7. 7

   Scoop the dough and shape each portion into a ball. The source used a 4-ounce cookie scoop and notes that the cookies will spread a lot.

8. 8

   Bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.

9. 9

   Enjoy the cookies warm. The source title suggests serving them over ice cream, but it does not provide an ice cream ingredient amount or detailed serving instructions.

Notes

The source does not specify the amount of chocolate chips, the exact yield, or an ice cream quantity. Because the cookies spread substantially, leave plenty of space between dough balls on the baking surface.
