ingredients

2 cups plus 2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. table salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
12 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1-2 cups chocolate chips or chunks

directions

1
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Adjust oven racks to upper- and lower-middle positions.
2
Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside.
3
Mix butter and sugars until thoroughly blended.
4
Mix in egg, yolk, and vanilla.
5
Add dry ingredients; mix until just combined.
6
Stir in chips.
7
Form dough into balls and bake, reversing cookie sheets’ positions halfway through baking, until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges start to harden yet centers are still soft and puffy, 15 to 18 minutes (start checking at 13 minutes).
8
Cool cookies on cookie sheets. Serve or store in airtight container.

notes

These rely on melted butter and an extra yolk to keep their texture soft. To ensure a chewy texture, leave the cookies on the cookie sheet to cool. In addition to chips, you can flavor the dough with one cup of nuts, raisins, or shredded coconut.
