Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

All-Purpose Flour
Provides structure and the perfect chewy texture for the cookie base.

Baking Soda
Helps the cookie rise slightly and gives it that soft, tender crumb.

Salt
Balances the sweetness and enhances the chocolate flavor.

Unsalted Butter
Softened butter adds richness and helps achieve that chewy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Brown Sugar and Granulated Sugar
A mix of the two creates depth and moisture—the brown sugar adds a hint of caramel flavor.

Egg and Egg Yolk
These bind the dough and keep it soft and chewy. Adding an extra yolk gives a richer texture.

Vanilla Extract
Adds warmth and depth to the cookie’s flavor.

Chocolate Chips
Use semisweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips—or a mix! I sometimes add chocolate chunks for that bakery-style gooeyness.

Optional Toppings:
Mini marshmallows, crushed nuts, caramel drizzle, chocolate sauce, or candies like M&M’s for a fun twist.

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-inch pizza pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and creamy.
4. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
5. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
6. Fold in chocolate chips (reserve a handful to press on top before baking).
7. Spread the dough evenly over the pizza pan, leaving about 1 inch from the edge for expansion.
8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges but soft in the center.
9. Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Add toppings like caramel, chocolate drizzle, or ice cream if desired.
