Can’t stop baking these cookies – third night in a row!



  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

💛 Pro secret: Replace 1 tbsp flour with 1 tbsp cornstarch for extra chew. Add a pinch of flaky salt on top before baking for that bakery finish.

Step-by-Step: 15 Minutes to Bliss

  1. Cream butter + sugars until fluffy (2 mins).
  2. Mix in egg + vanilla.
  3. Whisk dry ingredients, then fold in until just combined.
  4. Scoop 2-tbsp mounds onto a parchment-lined sheet.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes—edges golden, centers soft.
  6. Let cool 5 minutes on the pan (they’ll finish setting).

🌟 For melty centers: Underbake by 1 minute. They’ll be gooey perfection.

Why These Cookies Are Addictive

  • Brown sugar = chewiness + caramel depth
  • No chill time = instant gratification
  • Perfectly imperfect—cracks, crinkles, and all
  • Smell like a bakery in under 20 minutes

🍫 Customize it:

  • Chocolate chip: Fold in ¾ cup dark chocolate
  • Sea salt: Sprinkle with Maldon before baking
  • Espresso: Add 1 tsp instant coffee to the dough

A Note to Your Future Self

It’s okay to bake them three nights in a row.
It’s okay if you eat one (or three) warm from the oven.
It’s okay if this becomes your signature recipe, your therapy, your happy place.

Because sometimes, the simplest things—butter, sugar, and a warm kitchen—are exactly what the soul needs.

🌙 You’ve earned this joy. Bake on.
