Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup Butter ((softened))
  • 1 1/4 cups Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Water
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 large Egg Yolk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 8 ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate BARS* ((chopped into pieces, some small and large))

Instruction

  • In a large mixing bowl, add butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Beat for 3-4 minutes or until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl often.
  • Add water, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and beat for 1 minute longer.
  • Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chunks.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (this helps to allow the cookies to spread). Roll each dough into 3-ounce balls (slightly less than 1/3 cup). Place only 4 on a baking sheet to allow for spreading.
  • Place in the freezer for 15 minutes. While they are chilling, heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes of baking time, open the oven and use an oven mitt to lift the side of the baking sheet up about 4 inches and gently let it drop down against the oven rack. I repeat it again and then close the oven. After the cookies puff up again in 2 minutes, repeat lifting and dropping the pan. Repeat a few more times to create ridges around the edge of the cookie. Bake 15-17 minutes total, until the cookies have spread out and the edges are golden but the centers are still slightly undercooked.
