Single Chocolate Chip Cookie

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter and brown sugar until combined. Add the salt, egg yolk, and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Switch to a rubber spatula and add the flour and baking soda, stirring until just combined. Fold in 3 tablespoons of the chocolate chips.
3. Shape the dough into a 3 1/2-inch disk on the prepared baking sheet and gently press the remaining 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips randomly over the top and sides of the cookie.
4. Bake in a preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, until the cookie is golden. Serve warm or allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes on a wire rack before transferring to a cooling rack, then store in an airtight container.
