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 or milk chocolate chips
kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
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 (don't be tempted to
make them smaller, they aren't as good (texture is compromised) and
trust, you will want them big). Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
Bake
for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are
lightly toasted. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or kosher salt on each
cookie immediately after removing from oven. Cool on baking sheets for a
few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
