We soften the butter slightly, not completely melting it. A rule of thumb is the colder the butter the higher the cookie. The sugar is a combination of dark brown, and granulated. A bit of corn syrup is added, which is unconventional to me, but since it’s just a little, I’m ok with it.

Beat together the egg yolk, milk and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the egg mixture, beat. Then add the flour mixture and beat again.

I do not like huge chunks of chocolate in cookies. I decided to chop the chocolate chips and it was a hit! It makes the thin chocolate chip cookie even daintier.

Scoop cookie dough onto a cookie sheet with a mat or parchment paper. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly underdone and edges are crispy. Let them sit on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes to set a bit more.
