My favorite basic chocolate chip cookies

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar 
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 whole egg 
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 cups milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 1 cup milk chocolate chips, 1 cup m&m's)
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together butter and sugars until combined (about 2 minute). Add in vanilla and egg + yolk. Whisk until smooth (about 30 seconds).
  3. Add flour, salt, and baking soda to the bowl- stir together with a spatula or wooden spoon until there are no streaks of flour. Fold in the chocolate until evenly distributed.
  4. Using a 1 1/2 T cookie scoop (or two spoons), drop dough 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. 
  5. Bake for 11-13 minutes (cookies will look underdone, and bottoms will be barely golden). Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes.
Makes 3 dozen cookies.
