Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have used!  I made my previous recipe for about ten years with fave reviews, but this one is far superior.  Prepare to be amazed!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients 

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 
  
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions


1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.


2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

 3. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. 

4. Stir in the chocolate chips using a wooden spoon.  Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto prepared cookie sheets.

5. Flatten cookies slightly.

5. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
