Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar light or dark
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk room temperature
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare cookie sheets with silicone mat or parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl combine butter and sugars and beat until well combined, at least 2-3 minutes to allow ingredients to combine fully. Add in egg, egg yolk and vanilla and beat until well combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just combined, do not over mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Drop or scoop cookie approximately 1/4 cup of cookie dough for each cookie onto prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave at least 3" between cookies to allow for spreading.
  6. Bake for approximately 14-17 minutes in preheated oven, until the edges start to brown. Remove from oven and place baking sheet onto wire cooling rack, and allow cookies to sit on baking sheet for approximately ten minutes, then with a spatula, gently transfer cookies to a wire rack to continue cooling.

Notes

  • Make sure the melted butter has cooled, and that the eggs are at room temperature. Hot butter and cold eggs run the risk of cooking the eggs, which nobody wants in their cookies!
  • Make sure to beat butter and sugars very well, at least 2-3 minutes. 
  • It's important to allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets. As the baking sheets are still hot, this allows carry over cooking to help finish baking the cookies.
