Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, crushed potato chips, pretzels, raisins, nuts or unsweetened shredded coconut, or any combination
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking liners; set aside.
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla and mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl, if necessary. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until blended. Fold in the remaining ingredients. If time permits, refrigerate the dough for at least 12 hours to improve the flavour of these cookies.
Using your hands or a cookie dough scoop, form 1" balls with the dough. Place the dough balls on the baking sheets, about 2" apart. Bake until the edges are lightly brown, 9 to 10 minutes. They will look slightly underdone in the centre.
Cool the cooking on the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
