Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Source of Recipe


Internet



List of Ingredients



• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• ½ tsp baking soda
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• ½ cup plus 2 Tbsp sugar
  
• 1/3 cup plus 2 Tbsp packed brown sugar
  
• 1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
  
• 2½ tsp vanilla extract
  
• 1½ cups chocolate chips
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 325° F.
   Melt the butter over low heat and set aside to cool. Put oven racks at the top and lower-middle positions. Stir together the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and set aside. In the large bowl of an electric mixer on low speed, beat together the butter and both sugars until thoroughly blended. Beat in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients, and on the lowest mixer speed, beat until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
   
   
2. Place large scoops of dough (about 2 tablespoons per scoop) onto parchment-covered cookie sheets, about 8 or 9 scoops per sheet. (If you don't have baking parchment, grease the cookie sheets; the cookies will end up slightly more crispy on the bottoms.)
   
   
3. Place one cookie sheet on each oven rack. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, then reverse positions of the cookie sheets. Bake for another 6 to 8 minutes, until just barely golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheets for about 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat for remaining cookie dough.
   
   Makes about 2½ dozen cookies.
