If you enjoy big, buttery cookies that are packed full of chocolate chips, then you are in the right place. This easy recipe will take your chocolate chip cookie making game to the next leve
Ingredients
- 3/4 cups butter
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (approximately 11-12 oz depending on brand)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat, then set aside to cool for at least five minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combined cooled butter with sugars and beat with an electric mixer for two minutes. Then add egg and yolk, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add in vanilla and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir by hand to combine. Add remaining dry ingredients, and stir to combine, but do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips, stirring until just mixed in.
- Tightly cover dough and chill in refrigerator for at least one hour, and up to 24 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Scoop and drop dough, approximately a heaping tablespoon each, onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges just start to brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for two minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
If desired, roll cookies into perfectly round dough balls prior to baking, this creates a smooth and beautiful finished appearance.
Larger cookies can be made if desired. Use 2-3 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Bake time will range from 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies.
Store tightly covered. Like all cookies, they are best eaten within 2-3 days. For longer storage, keep in an airtight container or bag, in the freezer, for up to three months.
