What is considered a cookie emergency?

  • Late night cookie cravings when the store is too far and would require pants.
  • After-kids-go-to-bed treat for you (and I suppose someone else if you’re willing to share!).
  • Quick after-school snack when you don’t need 12 extra cookies laying around (you can even split this into 4 smaller cookies!). Small batch chocolate chip cookies for the win!

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two

Step 1: Melt Butter & Add Ingredients

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for 20-30 seconds until JUST melted (you don’t want it piping hot).

  1. Add in white sugar and brown sugar and use a fork to stir until combined. Mix in egg. Next, add in baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix again.
  2. Add flour and mix until all the flour disappears into the dough. Lastly, add the chocolate chips into the dough and mix.

Step 2: Scoop and Roll

Line half a baking sheet with parchment paper. Split dough in half then gently roll into your hands to create two balls. Flatten the tops so that they’re a thick disc vs. a round ball (see image below).

Tip: If you notice 2-3 chocolate chips are stuck together, separate them before baking. This will allow the chocolate to be evenly dispersed and prevent the cookie from having a giant clump of chocolate in one spot.

Step 3: Bake

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. You want them to be slightly brown on top and look slightly underbaked (my oven was perfect at 10 minutes). Remove from oven and place entire pan on a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool on the hot pan for 10-15 minutes before removing them. This will allow them to finish baking on the hot pan. Once cooled, use a spatula to transfer them to a wire cooling rack (or just eat immediately).

Recipe Notes

  • Whisk the egg thoroughly to make it easier to measure. If you only lightly beat it, the egg whites will easily separate and make it hard to measure into a tablespoon.
  • The melted butter is important for achieving a chewy cookie. Don't skip this step and use softened butter!
  • Want to make more than two cookies? See the recipe above to make a full batch.

    Perfect for when you just gotta… Seriously, I made 2 cookies and realized I forgot the salt flakes I intended to sprinkle on them before baking but I quickly whipped up 2 more and put a few salt flakes on them. Both batches were excellent! Thanks for the recipe!!
