Best Big Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

My sister sent me this recipe and told me I had to try it, so I did! They really are chewy and moist! I was concerned about making them that big, because I didn't want to eat such a big cookie in one sitting, but I'm glad I did. They are fun to have that big and you really can eat one in a sitting :-)! I used my 1/4 cup measure to scoop the dough out and it worked perfectly.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.


Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.


In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.


Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
