Equipment

Baking sheet, cooling rack, hand beater

Ingredients

8 tablespoons salted butter
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons honey, maple syrup or agave (note: if you like brown sugar flavor, you can substitute molasses) 63g
2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
1 egg yolk
1½ cups all purpose white flour* * See notes for measuring flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt (only if using unsalted butter)
¾ cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°.
Melt butter (about 30 seconds in microwave).
Combine wet ingredients (butter, sugar, honey (or syrup choice), vanilla and egg yolk.
Beat until thoroughly combined. Add dry ingredients (flour, baking soda and salt).
Mix with beater initially and then switch to mixing by hand.
Dough will form crumbles and you can press them into a full ball of dough.
Mix in chocolate chips by hand.
Roll dough into smaller balls (9 large cookies or 12 small cookies).
Small cookies: cook 9-11 minutes at 350°.
Large cookies: cook 11-13 minutes at 350°.
Note: Do note over bake. They will look fluffy and barely golden. Once they cool, they will be soft and delicious!
Allow cookies to cool on baking tray for at least 20-30 minutes. This will allow for carryover cooking. Store in airtight container. They also freeze well.

Notes

Tip to Measure Flour: When you measure your flour, do not scoop it out directly as that can lead to using more flour than is needed. To correctly measure your flour, give the flour a stir with a fork or a whisk to loosen it. Spoon the flour into cup until it is heaping, then level with the flat side of a knife.
