Ingredients

The following ingredients have 36 Servings
  • 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted and cooled for 5 minutes
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  •  
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, beat the melted butter and sugars together with an electric mixer (or stand mixer) on medium speed until smooth and light and fluffy in color, around 5 minutes. The mixture will be very noticeably lighter in color (see post for before and after pictures).
  • Beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined.
  • Reduce the speed to low and slowly add half the flour, the salt and baking soda, and then the second half of the flour.  Mix in the chips until incorporated.
  • Working with 1 large tablespoons of dough at a time, roll them into balls and place them on a cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper or a baking mat) about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are set and beginning to brown but the middles are still soft and puffy, around 10 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to let cool completely.
  • Repeat with remaining dough.
