List of Ingredients

3/4 cup unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon vanilla
12 ounces chocolate chips


Recipe

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Melt butter in large bowl in microwave (or over the stove) about 1 minute on high. Cool to lukewarm. Add brown sugar, sugar, vanilla, eggs and egg yolk whisking to blend. Add flour, salt and baking soda and powder in that order stirring with a wooden spoon. Dough will be stiff. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts if using, until evenly distributed. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using a 1/4 c measuring cup scoop out dough not quite filling the cup. Do not flatten. Bake at least 2 inches apart. This usually makes 6 cookies on a 11 x 17 cookie sheet. Bake for 14 minutes and then check to see if they are done. You want the edges to be light brown and the centers still soft. Cool the cookies on the parchment paper on a flat surface or leave on cookie sheet to cool. Makes 16 cookies.
