The Ultimate Quick Cookies: Your 30-Minute Ticket to Warm, Gooey Bliss

🍴 Instructions

1. Make the Dough

  1. In a bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.
  2. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
  3. Add flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.

2. Chill (Optional but Best!)

  • Chill dough for 10 minutes — makes cookies thicker and gooier.

3. Shape & Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Scoop dough into balls and place on baking sheet.
  3. Bake 9–11 minutes — edges set, centers soft.
  4. Let cool 5 minutes to set the gooey centers.
