Giant, Chewy, Chocolate Chip Cookies

Giant, Chewy, Chocolate Chip Cookies {Recipe}


Ingredients:

  • 2 c flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbls vanilla
  • 3/4 c unsalted butter
  • 1 c brown sugar
  • 1/2 c white sugar
  • 1 egg, plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) and sift together. (I occasionally skip this step and they still turn out great.)
  • Melt the butter (WHAT?!? I know it sounds crazy but trust me…) and let cool slightly. The butter should be opaque. Add the brown and white sugars. Cream the butter and sugars together. Beat in the vanilla and then add in the egg and egg yolk and continue beating until the mixture is light and creamy.
  • Add in the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips. Once you’ve added in the chocolate chips you’re going to have to do the hardest thing – wait! Put the dough in the refrigerator for a good hour until it is nicely chilled. Because the cookies are so big, if you put the dough in the oven at room temperature, it would just spread all over the place so make sure you take this extra step.
  • Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Space cookies about 3 inches apart. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven. The cookies are done when the edges are golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire racks to finish cooling. Then…devour them! Enjoy!
