This is my go-to recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Over the years I've tweaked the recipe to make the perfect chocolate chip cookie...in my humble opinion.
Ingredients
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 whole egg and 1 egg yoke
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups chocolate chips
Directions
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.) In a large bowl cream together the melted butter and sugars.
3.) Add the whole egg, egg yoke and vanilla. Beat until combined.
4.) In a medium bowl combine the flour, salt and baking soda.
5.) Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet until well combined.
6.) Add the chocolate chips and stir until combined.
7.) Using a 2 tbls cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto onto a cookie sheet. (I like to use a silicone baking mat to line the cookie sheet.) *For the best texture freeze the cookie dough balls before baking. See note below.*
8.) Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Enjoy!
*I like to keep frozen balls of cookie dough in the freezer for a quick batch of cookies when needed. Simply scoop the cookie dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and put in the freezer until frozen. Then put in a large ziploc bag and place back in the freezer. To bake preheat the oven to 350 degrees, place dough balls on a silicone mat lined baking sheet and bake for 12-13 minutes.
