Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
    Two black rectangular baking trays lined with parchment paper, perfect for baking chocolate chip cookies, are placed side by side on a white marble surface.
  • In a large bowl, using a hand mixer (or stand mixer), mix melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until well creamed.
    A glass mixing bowl containing unmixed ingredients like melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar sits ready for action; in the background, a cutting board with chocolate pieces hints at delicious chocolate chip cookies in the making.
  • Add in egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix until lighter in color.
    A glass bowl containing a mixture of egg yolk, vanilla extract, and a light brown batter, ready to become delicious chocolate chip cookies, rests on a white surface.
  • Add in the flour, baking soda and salt and mix again. Scrape the sides of the bowl and the bottom really well to ensure a smooth, well stirred batter.

  • Hand stir the chocolate chunks into the batter and let it sit 20 minutes to let the flour soak into the rest of the batter. (If your oven tends to run hot - aka flattens cookies - refrigerate the dough for 20 minutes.)

  • Scoop cookie dough onto prepared pans, using a two tablespoon cookie scoop.
    Two baking trays lined with parchment paper hold raw chocolate chip cookie dough balls, ready for baking into delicious chocolate chip cookies.
  • Bake 8-9 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through baking. When you pull your cookies out of the oven, they will looked cooked around the edges and undercooked in the center. DO NOT OVERBAKE!!
