- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolk until well combined.
