Pre-heat your oven to 325 Degrees

In a medium-sized bowl add the butter and half of the chocolate chips

Microwave for 15-30 seconds - just enough time to slightly melt the butter and chocolate

Mix the two together until a chocolate sauce forms

Now, in a small dish, add and whisk the egg until the yolk combines with the whites

Once it does, add the egg and the vanilla extract to the bowl with the chocolate sauce

Mix again

Now add the rest of the dry ingredients - saving some of the chocolate chips to top the cookies with

Mix until a ball of chocolate cookie dough forms

When it does, use a cookie scoop (or a tablespoon) to form 11 equal sized cookies

Add the cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and top each cookie with the left-over chocolate chips

Now flatten each cookie with either a spoon or a spatula, and bake them for 8-10 minutes

They should be VERY soft when they come out of the oven but don't worry this is normal

Let the cookies cool down in the baking sheet

As they cool they will set and firm up

Once they do cool down, enjoy, and store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge
