Why measure in grams?
If you ask any bakery how they measure, most will say they measure in grams. Measuring by weight is more reliable for desserts because some recipes don’t specify if you should pack your ingredients and do not take into account how different people measure their ingredients.
A common mistake people make in measuring ingredients is when measuring brown sugar. Brown sugar is clumpier than normal sugar because it is mixed with molasses. 100 grams of white sugar is equivalent to 100 grams of packed brown sugar—though most people don’t pack their brown sugar the same way, so you will most likely not get the same measurement unless using a scale.
Food scales are such an amazing and cheap investment to make for your kitchen because they will allow you to copy recipes perfectly because they are far more reliable and allow you to not use as many dishes! Click here to order a food scale!

Kitchen Equipment
Stand mixer with paddle attachment OR medium sized bowl with whisk and rubber spatula
oven tray
parchment paper
large cookie scooper (~1/3 cup)
circular cup/cookie cutter (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat oven to convection 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix room temperature butter with brown sugar for 30-60 seconds.
Step 2
Add your egg yolk and stir into mixture. Do not mix too much because the excess air will make your cookie cakey.
Mix in vanilla extract until just combined.
Add flour and baking powder. Fold dry ingredients into your dough until fully incorporated.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Step 3
Use a cookie scooper and scoop cookie dough. Place cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined tray.
Step 4
Bake cookie for 12 minutes.
For a perfectly circular cookie, use a circular bowl/cup/cookie cutter and swirl around your fresh cookie to make edges clean. Then let cookie sit on tray for about 10 minutes before removing.
Step 5
Sprinkle flakey sea salt on top (optional).
