The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie
Author: 
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 16
 
Ingredients
  • 1¾ cup AP flour
  • ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 14 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl mix together flour and baking soda.
  3. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone non-stick mats.
  4. In a skillet melt 10 tbsp. of butter over medium high heat. Cook until butter turns golden brown and starts to smell a little nutty. This will take about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the butter. Pour the melted butter in a heat-proof mixing bowl and add in the rest of the butter, stirring until melted.
  5. Whisk in sugars, salt and vanilla. Next add in egg and extra egg yolk. Whisk until smooth, for about 30 seconds. Let sugar/butter mixture rest for 3 minutes, and then whisk again for 30 seconds. Repeat this process 2 more times. The mixture should be smooth and shiny after the 10 minutes or on and off mixing.
  6. Stir in flour mixture until combined.
  7. Stir in chocolate chips.
  8. Scooping a little under ¼ cup of dough, roll into a ball and place on baking sheet with 2 inches between each cookie (should make 16 even cookie.)
  9. Bake for 10-14 minutes (rotating cookie sheet halfway through), one tray at a time until cookies are golden brown on the side but still puffy in the middle.
  10. Allow cookies to cool and enjoy!
