Small Batch Fudgy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a sheet pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, break half of the chocolate bar into small chunks and set aside.

In a microwave-safe bowl, break up remaining chocolate and microwave until just melted. Stir until smooth. Add butter and mix. Add sugars, salt, and baking soda, stirring until well mixed. Add egg and stir until well-blended.

Add flour and mix well. The batter will be stiff. Stir in vanilla and fold in remaining chocolate pieces.

Scoop 2 tablespoonfuls of dough per cookie on the cookie sheet. Bake at 350ºF for 15 minutes.

Make 8 medium cookies, just enough for two people.
