- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (extra large chips or chocolate chunks)
Preheat oven to 325F degrees. Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
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. Mis in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
Bake for 15 – 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.
