Deep Dish Cookie Bowls for Two

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp butter (melted)
• 0.333 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.375 cup all-purpose flour (1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons)
• 0.125 tsp salt
• 0.125 tsp baking soda
• 0.25 cup chocolate chips

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

2. 2

   In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons of melted butter and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. Mix until well combined.

3. 3

   Whisk in the egg yolk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Stir in the 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of flour, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda until a dough forms.

5. 5

   Gently fold in the 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.

6. 6

   Divide the cookie dough evenly between two 8-ounce ramekins. Press the dough gently to fill the bottom of each ramekin.

7. 7

   Bake for 18-22 minutes. Bake for 18 minutes for an underbaked center, 20 minutes for semi-baked, or 22 minutes for an almost fully baked cookie.

8. 8

   Allow the cookie bowls to cool for a few minutes so they firm up slightly, but serve while still warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

If you don't have ramekins, you can try using a small cast iron skillet or mini dutch oven, though baking times may vary. For a different texture, almond flour may be substituted, though it hasn't been officially tested by the author.
