The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Notes: the perfect homemade chocolate chip cookie. If dough seems to soft after mixing, refrigerate for about 30 minutes to make forming the dough easier. 

Makes 2-3 dozen large cookies. 

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 tsp. vanilla extract 
1-1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking mats.

Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars together. Beat in egg, yolk, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and beat on low-speed until just barely combined. Stir in chocolate chips. 

Scoop large balls of dough onto the cookie sheet, leaving room between each ball. Bake in a preheated oven for 11-14 minutes, until cookie just begins to become a golden-brown. Be careful not to over-bake.

Cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack.
