Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Dawn_The_Great

Chewy and large chocolate chip cookies are perfect warm from the oven with a big glass of cold milk, and delicious the next day (if they last that long!). Note: These make big cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 5 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Chop chocolate into small pieces.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar and sugar with a wooden spoon. Add eggs to the sugar mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in the dry ingredients and chocolate.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375°F. With an ice cream scoop, shape each cookie with 3 tablespoons of dough. Place 5 to 6 balls of dough on each sheet. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned (will still be very soft in the center).

Cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring.
