Chocolate Chip Cookies

Adapted from: annies-eats.com

2 cups plus 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
12 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (I prefer milk chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside. In a mixer, combine butter and sugars until thoroughly combined. Beat in egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop onto parchment-lined cookie sheets in 2 Tbsp. balls. Bake 11-14 minutes, or until light golden brown.

This is by far my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. They really do come out thick and chewy, and they don't taste like you just got the recipe from the back of a chocolate chip bag. Today was such a beautiful day, and it was about time I got in the kitchen and whipped up something quick and sweet. You can throw these together so fast, and they turn out wonderful every single time! Not only that, it finally gave me a chance to use one of the cookie scoops Vann gave me for Christmas!
