I love soft chocolate chip cookies, and this is a great chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position, then preheat oven to 325 degrees.  
2. Line 2 baking sheets with  parchment paper.  
3. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
4. Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.  
5. Add egg, extra egg yolk, and vanilla.  Beat until combined. Reduce speed to low, then add flour mixture in 3 portions until just combined, scraping down bowl as needed.  
6. Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
7. Working with 2 tablespoons of dough at a time, roll into balls and space them 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.  
8. Bake cookies 1 sheet at a time, until edges are set and beginning to brown but centers are still soft and puffy, about 15-20 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking.
9. Let cookies cool on the sheet pan for 10 minutes, then place on cooling rack.  Enjoy!
