Chocolate Chip Cookie (The Single Cookie)

1 Tbsp. White granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. Brown sugar
1 Tbsp. Butter
1-2 Tbsp. Chocolate chips
1 Tbsp. Water
1/8 tsp. Vanilla
Pinch of salt
Pinch of baking soda
1/4 Cup Flour + 1 Tbsp. Flour

Mix all of the ingredients in a cereal bowl with a fork.
You have two options here: Bake one largish cookie, or split it up and make a few smaller ones. Personally I like to make one large one, so I'm not obligated to share, but that's just me.
Bake at 350 degrees, for 12-13 minutes.
I bake on parchment paper. Parchment paper is great for baking cookies because you can slide the entire sheet of cookies off of the hot pan, no scooping them off. This allows you to get softer cookies. Some people like their cookies very crunchy, though, in which case you don't need to bother with parchment paper.
Also, if you bake one large cookie, it's wise to mush it down a bit before you bake it, rather than a large ball of dough. It will bake more evenly this way.
