Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you want a a soft, chewy chocolate chip cookie like the ones you find at a bakery, look no further. These are mouthwatering good.

For a better cookie make sure all cold ingredients are room temperature not just your butter.

I love cookie dough, could eat it by the spoonfuls.

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 F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper (I used foiled because I was out of parachment paper).

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. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.

4.  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.

All Done!
