Dessert for one, please!

This easy chocolate chip cookie recipe makes the perfect amount for an individual treat to enjoy if you're craving something sweet and don't want to dedicate your day to baking a big batch of cookies. Because when you need a little something but already have one foot out the door (parents, we know you can relate), a soft and chewy cookie for one is exactly what your sweet tooth ordered.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease an 8-ounce ramekin with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix together butter and light brown sugar using a fork or rubber spatula.
3. Add egg yolk and vanilla to butter and brown sugar and stir to combine.
4. To wet ingredients, add flour, baking soda, and salt and stir to combine.
5. Fold chocolate chips into the mixture and transfer to prepared ramekin. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Sprinkle with sea salt or top with vanilla ice cream if desired.
